It means that their badge will no longer be on their chest And they will join The Best Of The Best It means that family and friends are left behind To deal with the loss of a loved one. Only having the memories of that loved one Close to their hearts. Something no one can ever take away. It means that family members will stand at the officers grave And wonder why... Why would someone take an officers life And leave them there to die? If we only knew. Today an officer will place their badge on their chest To fulfill the dreams of heroes killed In The Line Of Duty 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 ... -- AUTHOR UNKNOWN |
