Guardian Angel
By: Bradley Wilt
Dedicated to West Virginia State Troopers and ALL departments of Law Enforcement. Written for Trooper Elswick who was shot in the head during a domestic violence call in Oct of 2002. Through many prayers and evening death, Tpr. Elswick is a functioning, breathing miracle today.
Who is this person,
the man in the green?
Never thinking of danger,
or though it may seem.
He works days and nights,
and not for the pay.
But that he can come home,
at the end of the day.
More precious that gems,
and all riches on earth.
You can’t put a price,
on this angel’s worth.
For everyone who’s in jail,
and serving their time.
It’s because our angel,
put his life on the line.
He never leaves home,
without kissing his kids & wife.
He knows that his job,
could cost him his life.
But always he gives,
and never thinks twice.
This must be an angel,
to make such a sacrifice.
Such pride in his duty,
he does it with love.
This man in the green
was sent from above.
Only God could send us,
such a wonderful gift.
Someone to bring justice,
that’s powerful and swift.
An angel in green,
he never will fall.
He’s here to protect us,
and uphold the law.
Don’t call him a hero,
he avoids the spotlight.
Just thank God for our angels,
when we pray at night.
But who is this man,
who doesn’t want fame?
He’s our Guardian Angel,
and TROOPER is his name.

We grew in our faith together and worked many hours together for the Lord. We've talked of meeting Jesus face to face and now you've reached the ultimate goal in life and thats to see Him face to face. I'm happy for you and I'll see you when I get there. Much love for my brother and committed officer of peace. We rejoice in your home going and we will stand in the gap with your family as we spoke of! I love you man!!!!!! see you later.

Thank you Mike for so much. The rides from the airport, the kind encouragement, the wise advice, brotherhood and the common, constant laugh about what happened at first baptist church of Jacksonville. You are my brother and friend. I'll always love and remember you. I was so proud of you and always will be. And of course very envious that you got to see Jesus face to face first. See you in the air big brother.

Angels sing in Heaven, another hero has come home, as a fellow brother in blue, I salute you. We in the profession always face this and other tragedies, but we answer the call of the job. Corporal Young, I am sure many in your comrade group shed tears today, your sacrifice is not one in vain, but it still fails to numb the pain.

On August 29, 2006, The Lord was delivered a message from an angel. In the message this small angel spoke quietly in His presence, saying "Father, I have brought you great news once again" and God spoke with a big powerful voice and said with a loving smile, "I already know, we have inherited another brave warrior and defender of my children, his name is Michael.
He has served Me and his fellow man well, I am eternally grateful for the job he has done, for in it he was able to glorify my name and presence, while giving unselfishly to those he served. I have promoted Michael to My Plane in Heaven, and from this day forward, he will live in Peace, he will never again feel fear, nor pain, nor cry again. This I say and it shall be forever.
Now send the others forward to spread their wings and open the gates, I want to hear them singing with joy, "Welcome Home Michael, you have served Him well. Here you will see all around you, those other guardians, who went before you, and they now welcome you, a fallen brother.”
God then spoke to another angel saying "I want you to send a troop down to those who grieve their loss, and feel fear, I want the angels wings around those children, that family, and every comrade he served with. For they shall blot away the tears and numb the time awhile, although they will be sad to know he is gone to them. They will surely be joyful to know, that today he resides in heaven with Me and My promise to them is this, his death on earth is not forever, it is but a tick in time.
I promise you as it is written, the next time you see Michael, it will be in Heaven, where time, tears and fears are never again. "The next time will not be but a short tick in time, but rather as I have always promised, Forever, Eternal. "Until then, march on and know I am there with you this day, as yesterday, and will be till time is no-more"
