The Final Inspection

The Police Officer stood and faced his God which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now you Officer, how shall I deal with you ?
Have you always turned the other cheek ? To my church have you been true ?"

The Officer squared his shoulders and said No Lord I guess I ain't,
Cause those of us that carry guns can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays and at times my talk was tough
And sometimes I've been violent Lord cause the world is awful rough.

But, I have never taken a penny that wasn't mine to keep...
Though I've worked a lot of overtime when the bills got just too steep.
And I've never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, oh my 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 fears.
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 Officer waited quietly
For the judgment of his God.

Step forward now you Police Officer
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's Streets.
You've done your time in

Hell

LINE OF BLUE PRAYER...
Dear Father,
It was only a moment,
but
In that moment a madman walked in
In that moment the world was changed.
In that moment countless lives, were utterly altered.
In that moment our hearts began breaking.
In these moments we speak names previously unknown:
With reverence, we speak his name, Chief Painter
In a moment our line of BLUE stretched out across the nation.
That hard, fast and steady line of BLUE has been breached.
In these moments help us as we have all become a part of the
line of BLUE.
Dry our tears, comfort our broken hearts, strengthen our weaken knees, cure our confusion.
May the line of BLUE draw a circle around us pulling back our hope.
May the line of BLUE be a shield before us.
May the line of BLUE carry us into the moments of our future.
A future made sure by their sacrifice in a moment.
It was only a moment and they were gone but
we and the line of BLUE go on…


In honor of the fallen.
