'God didn’t promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow, sun without rain;
but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears and light for the way'.

Policeman's Prayer
When I start my tour of duty God,
wherever crime may be,
As I walk the darkened streets
let me be close to thee.
Please give me understanding with both
the young and old.
Let me listen with attention until their
story is told.
Let me never make a judgement in
a rash or callous way.
But let me hold my patience, let each
man have his say.
Lord, if some dark and dreary night,
I must give my life.
Lord, with your everlasting love
Protect our children and my wife.

God Bless and rest in peace

“The Final Inspection”
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
“Step forward now policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?”
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
“No Lord, I guess I ain’t,
Because those of us that carry badges
can’t always be a saint.
I’ve had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep…
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.
I Know I don’t deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you’ve a place for me here,
Lord, It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t…..I’ll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
“Step forward now, policeman,
You’ve borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in hell.
