The Badge

It is polished and shiny and looks so fine.
Once you earn it you have to tow the line.
The minute you wear it upon your chest
it becomes a symbol that you are the best.
It means honesty, integrity, and fairness to all.
Your life is never your own, but at the publics call.
Night or day, any hour, it makes you a mark.
It doesn't protect you from a shot in the dark.
Over the years the shine starts to fade,
but brighter still is the man its made.
It is often what separates you from the crowd.
It is a second family of which you are proud.
So now comes your time, you can't be denied.
When you pin on your badge, wear it with pride
The minute you wear it upon your chest
it becomes a symbol that you are the best.

To my dearest Michael,
I believe GOD allows even the scummiest of criminals into Heaven if they allow Christ into their heart, and that GOD needs awesome cops like you to patrol HIS streets and hoods! This makes no sense to those of us still on earth, but we know that HIS plan for you has been executed. Rest in peace. You will be sorely missed. But as we know, we WILL see you again. You have left your motorcade wings here on earth, and have exchanged them for the most gracious wings of all, those wings given to you by GOD. Fly with grace and give us strength, my fallen hero. Until we meet again, go 10-8 up there and continue your job with all our other law enforcement brothers! We love you.

We once again have lost a part of the brotherhood of law enforcement. These times are difficult and the family and department has a long road of recovery ahead of them. The staff of Cops Evangelist Ministries would like you to know that we are and will continue to pray for you in this time of sorrow. Remember that God will not give you more then you can handle. Philippians 4:13 says…I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.

From a fellow Motorman, rest in peace. Thank you for a job well done.

The Motorcycle Officer's Poem reads as follows:
It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.
Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.
They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble; they ride out of our sight.
Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.
So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes; you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.

Michael was and will always be known as friend to all that had the blessed opportunity to have known him. He will always be remembered for his laughter and his smile. He loved to play jokes on people that he worked with and help the ones that he cared for, his family, his friends and his Sheriff's Office Family. I feel blessed to have worked with him and to have known him. Thank you Michael for allowing me and others the opportunity to be blessed by your kind friendship and smile.You will always be remembered.
