Lord I ask for courage
Courage to face and
Conquer my own fears...

Courage to take me
Where others will not go...

I ask for strength

Strength of the body to protect others
And strength of the spirit to lead others...

I ask for dedication
Dedecation to my job, to do it well
Dedecation to my community
To keep it safe...

Give me Lord, concern
for others who trust me
and compassion for those who need me...
And please Lord

Through it all
Be by my side...

NEVER FORGOTTEN...
