I remember the first time I met you.I admit I was intimidated by your presence back in 1987.Lil Spencer was still a newborn.I used to visit your gravesite at times and placed small american flags there.I still admire you this very day.I very much would have loved having you as a mentor.I often think about that when I was a police officer for nearly a year back in the year 2000.Sometimes life is unexplainable.Thank you my brother.

"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.

Uncle Spencer,

Although I was young when you died, I still remember that bright smile you always had on your face when you would come visit. You were a wonderful man who loved his job with a passion and I know that you are in heaven watching Spencer Jr., Preston, and me as well. I'll love you always and I look forward to seeing you again.

Love always and always,
April

Since you are gone to a better place now, I hear great things of you to this day. One day I want to be just like you and do what you did in law enforcement. I will always love you. Spencer Jr.

Agent Beckley,
You died before I became an Agent, but that doesn't diminish what you were to the Agency. Many people tell stories of you to this day, many years after you were taken from the Bureau. As with all the Agents that have lost the battle with evil, we current Agents look after those left behind. I wish I could tell you that your family didn't miss you, but that'd be a lie, and I never lie to a brother. We do what we can, to make life easier, but without you it is hard. Watch over us as we strive to fight the good fight. God bless you Agent!

~~~Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep~~~

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn’s rain
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds circled in flight
I am the soft star that shines at night
I am the flowers that bloom by day
I am the fragrance of new mown hay
I am each blade of grass that grows
I am the rush of melting snow

Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am no there, I did not die…..
