"The Thin Blue Line"
There is a line
the color of the sky
on a clear afternoon
There is a line
the hue of the ocean
on a bright sunny day
There is a line
the purest shade of a newborn's eyes
awakening for the first time
There is a line
that protects us from harm
in all we do
whether day or night
There is a line
no one can penetrate
no one can alleviate
There is a line
made of those who choose
to follow a calling many do not hear
and still more do not comprehend
They choose to walk
the path of fear, hate, and mistrust
taken by so few
but marked by so many
And when one leaves this line
they leave a legacy
but the line does not break
for the remaining must still protect
There may be emptiness
a loss, or sadness
but never a hole
not in this line
This line that holds
the ghosts of the souls who have gone
and the souls of the ghosts who will be
The Thin Blue Line

Bobby,
My heart is breaking to know that you are no longer with us. I'm gonna cherish our last conversation we had at the back of the North substation not that long ago. You were always happy and loved your job. Bobby would always give 100% when it came to police work. He had great pride in wearing the SAPD uniform. I really enjoyed working with you while we were on the DWI unit together. I also loved that when we would give each other a hard time, you never got angry but just laughed everything off. You could dish it out but you could also take it. I'm proud to have known you and to call you my friend. I will miss you. To Bobby's family, please know that the SAPD family will always be here for y'all. May The Lord give you comfort is this very difficult time. God Bless!
For the sake of thy name, O Lord, revive me, In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. Psalm 143:11
