You Didn't Have To
Thank you for being a Policeman;
even though you didn't have to...
For choosing to serve and protect us,
no matter what the cost to you.
Although we never met you we would like to say god bless,
on this very sad day that you are laid to rest.
Thank you for your service Officer Hege and for doing what you didn't have to do,
On this sad day our Nation harbors gracious love for your family and for you.
I’ll always think of you
With a glad and grateful heart;
You are very special;
I knew it from the start!

When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.
A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.
An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angel's see us through
They smile when we are happy, and will cry when we are blue..
Thank you for your service, your friendship and your protection
