"He Answered The Call"



Today in the sun, I bid him farewell
A man, a hero, I never knew well

Like many before him, who answered the call
Wearing a badge, he was destined to fall

Though by choice a long life and a happy old age
Would he have chosen, had he written the page

But the office he chose never promised long life
Just half of his salary, for his child and his wife

He went without fear, into the darkness of night
Bringing comfort to some, to some others light

Easing their pain and calming their fears
He did his duty, never asking for cheers

A husband, a cop, he answered the call
We bid him farewell for he gave his all

John,
You joined Brandy in heaven one year to the day that he died. Tell him we miss him here on earth. My heart sank when I saw that your wife was on duty with you. I used to dispatch in an adjacent county to Brandy. That is a nightmare I couldn't begin to fathom. It breaks my heart to know that another family has begun this journey that we started a year ago. It has been a long, hard journey that is just starting. I wish you family peace and happiness at the end of this journey. They will have much support along the way. Cruise the highway with Brandy up there, he was a midnight man too. I am sure he can show you all the good hiding spots.....
