All my life, I wanted to be.....
A person who makes a difference.
I dedicated my entire being,
to be the absolute best , at what I do.

Day after day, I see death, I see life..
In its truest form, reality......its brutal.
Mid shift, Im alone, my mind wonders,
So many memories flipping the pages,
hard to let go the visions..

To think, the little amount I am paid,
but that doesnt matter, I can make a difference.
For you... your children..... me ....my children.

Thugs come and go, oh not another domestic.
A bruised face, a crying child, a gangster dead in the gutter..
Another report, under the microscope, its not written.. it wasnt done...

A fellow officer...losing their life,
How many times, must we die...
All in the name of humanity...
One life is given, so that many may live...
Doesnt seem fair....

Sun chases the night away, tour of duty finished,
Theres my love, waiting by the door,
Kissing me, I love you, off to work I must go...
Children following, smiling as the door closes....

All my life, I wanted to make a difference...
To be an Officer in Law Enforcement...
Finding out, its a faith, not a job......
Can't leave it at the office....
Forever imprinted, in my heart and mind....

In my life, I have made a difference.....
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND

"Is daddy coming home soon?" asks a precious little face.
"It's past when he should be here.
Is he working on a case?"
Your dad's not coming home son.
He's working late tonight.
He's a policeman up in heaven, making sure we're all alright.
"But mommy, why'd he leave us?
I miss him when he's gone."
I know you miss him darling, but now we must be strong.
"Who's gonna teach me baseball, and help me fly my kite.
And help me with my homework,
and buy me my first bike?"
Your daddy loved you darling, and he didn't want to leave.
But a bad man took, your daddy, and left us all to grieve.
Be proud of who your dad was,
and how he earned his pay.
Because it's people like your daddy
that keep us safe each day.
"Mommy, when I get bigger, and if it's okay with you,
I'm gonna be like daddy, and be a policeman too."
