Within every generation, some receive “a calling,”
A strong urge that cannot be ignored
At first there may be doubts, and even some stalling,
But ultimately, the calling is adored.
Law enforcement is, unquestionably, the noblest profession,
The essence of which, is human and divine
Whose requirements include courage, compassion and discretion
Daily sacrifices upon the altar of mankind.
Being wise and alert comes with the job
To prevent or detect crimes can be dangerous indeed.
Though most people are decent, some will kill or rob,
Some people are simply “bad seeds.”
When a fellow officer falls — you grieve as a whole,
Truly tears are shed like no other
It is a mourning that comes from the depth of the soul,
It is the loss of a sister, it is the loss of a brother.
But the courage that has sustained you sustains you even more
As you conquer another day or night
Still dedicated, and yet a little more so than before
To stand for what is true, and just, and right.
