Dios parado y hecho frente del policía,
Cuál debe venir siempre pasar.
Él esperaba que sus zapatos brillaran,
Apenas tan brillantemente como su latón.

"paso adelante ahora, policía.
¿Cómo tratar de usted?
¿Usted ha dado vuelta siempre a la otra mejilla?
¿A mi iglesia téngale sido verdad?"

El policía ajustó sus hombros y dijo,
"ningún señor, Conjeturo que no es I,
Porque los de nosotros que lleven una divisa no pueden siempre ser un
santo."

He tenido que trabajar la mayoría de los domingos,
y mi charla era ocasionalmente áspera,
y he sido a veces violento,
Porque las calles son terriblemente resistentes.

Pero nunca tomé un penique,
Ésa no era mina a guardar aunque trabajé muchos del tiempo
suplementario en que las cuentas consiguieron apenas demasiado
escarpadas.

Y nunca pasé un grito para la ayuda,
Sin embargo en el tiempo sacudarí con miedo.
Y a veces, El dios me perdona,
He llorado unmanly los rasgones.

Sé que no merezco un lugar entre la gente aquí.
Nunca quisieran que alrededor excepto calmara su miedo.

Si usted tiene un lugar para mí aquí, Señor,
No necesita ser tan magnífico.
Nunca contaba con o tenía demasiado,
Pero si usted no entenderé.

Había un silencio todo alrededor del trono donde los santos habían
pisado a menudo.
Como el policía esperó reservado,
Para el juicio de su dios.

"paso adelante ahora, policía,
Usted ha llevado sus cargas bien.
Caminata venida un golpe en las calles del cielo,
Usted ha hecho su tiempo en infierno "

What a tragedy to die so young, standing up for the rights and freedoms so many take for granted. Although you served a short time, your name will be forever remembered. You will be missed by all who wear a uniform. As I have been told for years "For those who defend it, freedom has a ring the protected will never know."

Please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in. Thank you Officer Laboy for a job well done. Please continue to watch over us and protect us as only you can. You will forever be at our side and in our hearts.

For those of you who still have loved ones with us please take the time to tell them how much you appreciate and care about them.

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
