Reflections for Police Officer Daryl R. Pierson

Officer Pierson & Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss and the pain that each of you must feel. It takes a special person to be in Law Enforcement, where would this world be without them? I know that you will see your loved one again and that he will watch over you from Heaven.

I too thank Officer Pierson for his service and his sacrifice as well as that of his family. I'm sending up prayers for strength, healing, grace, and peace for all of you. Please take a look at II Timothy 4 verses 7-8, may you find it as comforting as I have.

"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 who 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."

RIP PO Pierson, end of tour.
I couldn't come up with the appropriate words at this time, so I found this.

~ Protecting Us Below ~

On the night they found you there,
your life was taken without a care.
As every brother and sister arrived,
uncontrollably we wept, we cried.
~~
Knowing we have to make a start,
to fill the void deep within our heart.
Even tho' you have left us behind,
you'll always be with us in heart, spirit and mind.
~~
Reunited one day we shall be,
No longer victims on the 'Streets of Misery'.
But til' the day we meet again,
I will cherish the memories of my brother, my friend.
~~
Not gonna' sit at your grave and cry,
instead I will smile...lookin' up to the sky.
You'll be up where all angels in blue go,
protecting your brothers and sisters below.
