~ GOD'S FIRST POLICE OFFICER ~

In darkness silence of the night,

when all appeared safe and secure.

What this officer had no way of knowing,

he was beginning his shift of last tour.

~*~

Should have been a routine traffic stop,

he advised them not to exit their car.

However they had nothing left to lose,

and the shots could be heard from afar.

~*~

Things then became so very personal,

as his lifeless body lay on the ground.

Then you heard the words that stand still,

"start me a rescue unit, Officer down".

~*~

A mist of glow befell upon the scene,

the Archangel in spiritual radiance shone.

Watching over those in the uniform of blue,

they are his charges, children of the throne.

~*~

While you never took the time to meet him,

our heavenly Father knows them all by name.

Their honor, integrity, courage and pride.

though none ever sought any glorious fame.

~*~

On bended knee, his head bowed low,

through tears that had come and gone.

Michael gathered this Officer in his arms,

slowly begin the Ascension's journey on.

~*~

At heaven's magnificent gate was God,

his heart waiting for this soul to embrace.

"Welcome home my son, my first Police Officer,

come now and walk with me in eminent grace".
