"A Police Officer's Prayer"

Lord, I ask for courage ~
Courage to face and conquer my own fears ...
Courage to take me where others will not go ...

I ask strength ~
Strength of body to protect others,
and strength of spirit to lead others ...

I ask for dedication ~
Dedication to my job, to do it well,
Dedication to my community, to keep it safe ...
Give me, Lord, concern for those who trust me,
and compassion for those who need me ...
And please, Lord, through it all,
be at my side ...

Sincere sorrow to Deputy Causey and his beloved family. The hazards of law enforcement are great, but to compound it with his unselfish commitment at a fire scene to make sure all were safe is beyond the call of duty. May his family find peace in their true loss.

I pray these words God gave me will comfort you.

FALLEN HEROES
From the time I was conceived God had for me a plan
He wanted me to get involved to help my fellow man
I know some were against it but God knows what is best
Now I'm safely home with him and have perfect peace and rest
It really was amazing when I walked through the gate
I saw the beauty of this place and I could hardly wait
To come into the presence of the Father and the Son
Hearing him say to me the priceless words WELL DONE
Heaven is so beautiful I'm breathing free and clear
Everything is lush and green there is no death up here
God has given every soul a special job to do
My job my dear loved ones is watching over you
Soon we will be together never more to part
Until then just remember I'm as close as your heart

R.I.P. BROTHER Causey!!!

Nebraska Police Officer

May 19, 2013

This poem was written after getting my wife’s 19 years perspective of being a police officer’s wife.


“He Does it For You!”

He doesn’t do it for the money,
Cause surely there’s something better to do,
He says, “Someone has to do it!”
So really, he does it for you.

His eight to twelve hours is from call to call,
From a murder to a cat in a tree,
You say he’s never around when you really need him,
But without him, where would you be?

You curse him when you get a speeding ticket,
And scream there’s something better he could do,
But have you looked at how many deaths there are on the highways,
So really, he’s doing it for you.

He’s always seeing so much bad in the world,
He really doesn’t know what to do,
He wonders sometimes if it’s even worth it,
But he knows he has to do it for you.

Each day when he leaves for work,
And I always kiss him good-bye,
I don’t know if I’ll see him again,
Cause the day might be the day he dies.

So many times he comes home from work,
And I see a small tear in his eyes,
I ask him what is the problem dear?
And he says another innocent person has died.

You always say a cop isn’t human,
Cause at a tragedy he’s cool from the start,
But you don’t have to live with him,
And watch his mind and heart break apart.

I remember one hot June night at work,
His supervisor came, “Your husband’s been hurt!”, he said,
It was such a long ride to the hospital,
They wouldn’t say if he was alive or dead.

Crime is always on the increase,
The streets a battle ground,
And when one in “Blue” is slain,
At the funeral-taps will sound.

He’ll lay in a flagged draped coffin,
An honor for those who die for this land,
Just like the Army, Navy and Marines,
He died by the enemies hands.

Most ordinary citizens won’t be at the funeral,
But you’ll see plenty of people wearing blue,
You’ll see dozens of marked patrol cars,
Honoring the one who died for you.

Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO! May God
Give the family and friends the strength and faith to deal with this tragic loss. Words can not express my sorrow!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I am so sorry to learn of this fine officer's LODD. I, too, lost my son in a LODD in FL. Dep. Sheriff Chuck Sease EOW 7/5/03 and know what Officer Causey's family is going through. I want you to know that time lessens the pain, but it certainly never goes away. I promise you will be able to deal with it in time. I live in Murrells Inlet, Horry County, and would be very pleased to be of any help you can think of. To the Causey Family, I extend my deepest sympathies as I feel your loss.

Simply put, Tim Causey was THE BEST Law Enforcement Officer I have ever known. We became friends back in 92, when he was my FTO at Mullins PD, showing me the ropes of a very demanding occupation. He had a perfect demeanor for an officer and was respected by citizens and criminals alike. I will miss our conversations about the "good ol days" of police work at the judge's office, no matter how many times we told the same stories. I hate that I am overseas and will miss your funeral, but as soon as I return I will visit you. Don't worry, we will watch over your girls like I'm sure you would have done for mine. You have served THE CORPS and your state well, so Rest in Peace my Brother, you've earned it.
