Reflections for Police Officer Jesse W. Embrey, III
Reality
Imagine how our world would be
If every police officer quit
Turned in their gun, turned in their badge,
Just finally had enough of it.
No respect, no loyalty,
No appreciation of all they do,
They’d give their lives for all of us,
These wonderful officers of “Blue”.
Kicked at, spit on,
Punched, stabbed and shot,
Everyday assaults on officers,
Done…without thinking a second thought!
Our laws are in favor of criminals,
There’s always some loophole in their case,
Out again to commit more crimes and murders
…creates pain, that we, the family and friends
…in time will never erase.
Why should they do it?
Why take the risk?
Why put their life on the line?
Subject their loved ones to endless suffering,
When their precious life is lost while fighting crime.
More murders, more kidnappings, more robberies and rapes,
Just to mention a few,
Please ask yourself how life would be,
If there were NO officers in Blue!
Would you do it? Could you do it?
And for how many…would YOU give it all?
Rewards are a 21 gun salute, a Medal of Honor,
And your name gets added to the Wall.
Think about it. Why are they here?
And why do some hate them so?
Because they enforce the laws that put convicts and murderers
In jail serving time, or on “Death Row”.
All give some and some give all,
It’s a risk they chose to take:
To put their heart and soul in it,
To put their lives at stake.
So, please take a moment,
Please give it deep thought,
Think of what “you can do”…
To help show respect,
To help follow the laws,
So we’d quit losing our Heroes in Blue!

Jesse I just want you to know that I love you so much. It has been a little over a year now and I still find myself crying over you. I miss you a great deal and wish everyday that you were back here; i would trade the life i have now just to have you back. You children really do miss you and your baby girl still looks for you to come home. She definitely still knows who you are and misses you every day. Your son I think hides a lot of it still, but every once in a while, out of the blue, he will say that he really misses you. He is getting so big and looks more and more like you. I love you so much and wish I could have you back, but everyone makes sure that we are doing ok. Thank you for keeping watch over us and I will see you later in life.
I love you!!!
