Look deep into his eyes you'll see,
the battle scars that lie;
Reflections of the memories,
that haunt him through the night.
Those eyes have seen such tragedies,
that bring forth so much pain;
Yet every day the shield he wore,
and no regrets remain.
The fallen Comrades that he sees,
though he may not know their names;
To him are family held so dear,
he feels each griever's pain.
But true and noble is the heart,
of the one behind this shield;
For all it's cost he'd never change,
one moment that's revealed.
Thank you's they were rarely heard,
the public rarely praised;
But "To Protect and to Serve" he did quite well,
It's the banner they all raised.
So when you see an Officer,
remember in your heart;
It's a difficult road they choose to walk,
and say "Thank you" as a start.Dedicated to all Law Enforcement Officers. |
