I have laid down my life in service to all of you. I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization. As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me. I have given my life so that others may live in peace. My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them. You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.

This hits close to home, both as a Border Patrol Agent, but also as a member of an ATV patrol unit. I didn't ever meet Agent Cavazos, even though my station is 40 miles east of his... he will be remembered. His family needs more support than anyone right now.

RIP Agent Cavazos, Jr.

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."
