Think of you every night. I replay that night in my head even 13 years later. It was cold that night like tonight, but the cold didn't matter, only you. See you again.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I remember the poem written about you and St. Peter. I remember how you are a shooting star and how if one is seen it is you backing another officer. I see a shooting star at night and know you are there still backing us that now hold the watch here. We all miss you.

The Law Enforcement Prayer
by Dan Lovin
Our Father who art in Heaven
In a few minutes I will assume my daily beat.
Facing the unknown but being closer to Thee than ever before.
Hallowed be Thy name
Even in the face of death and crime, Thou art everywhere to guide me.
I will fear no evil.
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me.
Thy will be done
Thy will, not mine shall be done.
Do not let me be selfish.
O Lord, if you choose to take me, let me die as a man in order that another man may live.
On earth as it is in Heaven
Let me be a guide here on earth to those who are misguided and lost.
Help me to help those who are in need of help in order that we all may be worthy of Thy Kingdom in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
Especially those who live in poverty and misery
And forgive us our trespasses
I am a sinner. O Lord let me never forget that I am no better than my fellow men.
Let me never forget that by Thy grace I am on the right side of the law.
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Forgive those who despise me and the uniform which represents the law and order.
Forgive them for they do not know better.
I have forgiven them.
Lead us not into temptation
Make me strong for I am only human.
Deliver me from hate and jealousy and from wanting something I should not have in your eyes.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and glory
Let me be no judge or jury.
Let me be impartial.
Let me be just and fair.
Forever and ever, Amen.

Brian, I am working an off-duty job and saw a beautiful sunset, it reminded me of the sunset in Colorado Springs, CO when we tested for jobs. We went hiking in the mountains and you talked about how great and beautiful it was up there. Now you watch all of us officers above the mountain tops from sea to shining sea...........Thinking of you brother.

Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found a peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you all the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored so much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
for God wanted me now, He set me free.
