ITS SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER FAR AWAY...

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.

Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.

They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.

Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.

So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.

‘Officer Brian Lorenzo We Salute You’ by John J. Ruppert 7-8-2012

Today our city says goodbye to a hero
A life that touched so many is now gone
We are left to move on without your grace
But we’ll never forget the smile on your face

Those who had the chance to walk with you
Knew you as a man with a heart of gold
And a smile that would take your breath away
But today Heaven has taken you from us

We are never given enough time to thank someone
Like you Brian, for the sacrifices that you’ve made
The lives you’ve changed and the joy that you gave
Each time we were all graced by your smiling face

Today all of our city will shed its tears together
For the loss of someone who made us all better
Heaven opens its gates to allow your soul through
Our Dear Officer Brian Lorenzo we salute you

Brian is and will always be a great husband, father, brother, cop, and brother in blue. Brian and I worked in the same area of the city and what is primarily present, in cherished thoughts about Brian, was his overall dedication to the citizens of Philadelphia. Brian never hesitated to help, to defend the rights and protect the sanctity of the innocent. Brian was not flashy or egotistical, he never pandered into the politics or agenda waves, rather he performed and served the city of Philadelphia with bravery and honor! Brian never lost sight of that type of dedication!

Brian you will be missed and never forgotten, Rest in peace bro!

Bryan Lorenzo was the best of the best! He has worked for me since 1997 and one who I could count on day in and day out. Never complanining and always looking at the positive. A certified Northwestern University police motorycle instructor and a member of the Philadelphia Highway Patrol Drill Team who performed annually at the Philadelphia Hero Thrill Show to raise funds to assist families of fallen officers and firefighters. A true family man who you would love to have in your family. I had the unfortunate responsibility to notify his family, words cannot express the pain and agony. I lost a loyal and dedicated friend, professional and amazing police officer. Rest in peace Bryan, you now have angels wings.
