NOW IN HEAVEN
The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

MAY GOD BLESS AND BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

"A Letter From Heaven"
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and he said,'I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.'
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the days chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....In the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human they are bound to bring tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you would not understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you, and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one step at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you to;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...."My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low:
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...you're coming here to me.
I will always be with you!
I hope that everyone who knew DS Mayo, can come to this wonderful place and read all the reflections and thoughts that have been left here, to give solace, and prayers, in this dark time.
Words just don't seem enough to send here.
You will always be remembered as a hero who never ever
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

OUR FALLEN HERO

What beautiful words but none can express the pain and loss we feel.

Bleed Blue
I am gone, though not quite forgotten. For a tiny spark of my life stays lit through the memory and reflections of my brothers and sisters that stood beside me when I was alive. For during those days, a bond was formed that cannot be broken by time or death of the flesh. Because it is a special bond shared between brothers and sisters who wear the blue. Between those men and women who stand toe to toe against the evils of the world on a daily basis. By those brothers and sisters who witness man's inhumanity to man, day in and day out, and yet are able to muster enough courage to wake up, put on this uniform that makes them impervious to bullets, knives, car crashes and bare fists. And sometimes make them unmoved by the cries of an injured or scared child, only because to do so would put everyone at risk. Yes, I am gone though not quite forgotten. For in the hearts and minds of my brothers and sisters, I still live and fight beside them every day. We are a strange lot. They call us by many names; police officer, cop, deputy, constable and more. We are men and women, black, white, brown and yellow, but we all have a common denominator. When we are hurt or injured, or standing strong against what seems insurmountable odds, we all bleed blue. And that collective outpouring of our lives, blood is what makes us brothers and sisters. Is what makes those who have served and died before us. Gone, but not forgotten. We are a close net few, but we serve for the greater good. Because we are the line in the sand that helps us maintain a civilized society. Gone but definitely not forgotten.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Into your hands, O Lord
we humble entrust our brother
In this life you embraced him with your tender love;
deliver him now from every evil
and bid him enter eternal rest.

Welcome him then into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain,
but the fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
for ever and ever.
