FINAL MESSAGE FROM A FALLEN OFFICER<br />
To My Partner<br />
You did all that you could, I fell and yet you stood,<br />
You know sadness was never my style.<br />
Those were the cards we drew, nothing else more we could do,<br />
Except remember me, my friend with a smile.<br />
To My Wife<br />
Don’t think of me as gone, but away, though I wish I could have stayed,<br />
I may not be there, but our love did not end.<br />
We had faith, we had love, sure as God is above<br />
I feel your love from here that you continue to send.<br />
To My Daughter & My Grand Daughter<br />
I know for you it must be hard to be alone,<br />
In all the places where we laughed, and we played.<br />
My sweet baby girl, you know you still give me joy,<br />
Live your life as I did, brave and unafraid.<br />
To the Officers I Leave Behind<br />
Every day that you hit those streets,<br />
Be sure and watch your six for all the dangers you’ll face.<br />
Train hard, wear your vest, for you’ll surely be put to the test,<br />
with all the bad guys, right up to that last chase.<br />
To the Criminals<br />
<strong>No</strong>w that I’m here and God’s plan is so clear<br />
To you, there is but one thing to say.<br />
You steal, you rape, you kill and abuse your free will<br />
Your time will come when there’s Hell to pay.<br />
To Everyone Else<br />
I may seem gone from all you now, but I know that somehow<br />
We will reunite in another place.<br />
For “The good they die young,” is a song often sung,<br />
But this verse is flawed on its face.<br />
You see the good don’t die young, but instead, they live on,<br />
In memories, and in many a heart.<br />
