Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Horrible week for Law Enforcement- starting off with the four officers from Lakewood, WA being gunned down. From cities big and small, let's never forget how dangerous this job can be.

Rest in peace Officer Davis. Let's all be careful out there and stick together. It's going to be real hard to celebrate Christmas this year knowing that the families of these officers are going to be going through a rough time.

If tears could build a stairway
and memories were a lane,
We would walk all the way to Heaven,
to bring you home again...
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say good-bye...
You were gone before we knew it,
and only God now knows why...
Our hearts ache in sadness,
and tears are sure to flow...
What it is meant to lose you,
no one will ever know!

JUST A COP

The funeral line was long,
There's an awful lot of cars.
Folks came out of the restaurants,
They came out of the bars.
The workers at construction sights
All let their hammers drop.
Someone asked, "what is all this for?"
And they said,"Aw, just a cop."

Some chuckled at the passing cars,
Some shed a silent tear.
Some people said "It's stupid."
"All these dumb policemen here.
"How come the're not out fighin' crime?
"Or in a donut shop?"
"Sure is a lot of trouble for
"Someone who's is just a cop."

They blocked the intersections,
They blocked the interstate.
People yelled and cursed,
"Damn, its gonna make me late!"
"This is really ridiculous!"
"They're makin' us all stop!"
"It seems they sure are wastin' time
"On someone who's just a cop."

Into the cemetery now,
The slow procession comes.
The woeful Taps are slowly played,
There's loud salutes from guns.
They graveyard workers shake their heads.
"This service is a flop.
"There's lots of good words wasted,
"On someone who's just a cop."

Yea, just a cop to most folks.
Did his duty every day.
Tryin' to protect us,
Till they took his life away.
And when he got to heaven,
St. Peter put him at the top.
An angel asked him, "Who was that?"
And he said, "Aw just a cop."

"REST IN PEACE"

"The Final Inspection"

The policeman stood and faced his 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 badges
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 times 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 silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

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