"A Part Of America Died",
Somebody killed a policeman today,
And part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
And spend many long lonely nights.
The beat he walked was a battle field too
just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
In your town or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And stands at each new rookies' side.
He answered the call,of himself and gave his all,
And a part of America died.

I would like to send my condolences to the family and the friends of officer Brown. I just lost an uncle who was a member of St. Louis Police Department (natural causes). Believe me prayer helps. I know my Uncle Reggie met officer Brown, his brother, at the gates of heaven with open arms. He is in good hands. I will keep you all in my prayers.

"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so,would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also" John 14:1-3
