Officer's Killed In The Line Of Duty

All Gave Some...Some Gave All
Police Officer Memorial


                        

Dedicated To The  Unknown Peace Officer - Known Only To God 
 

I  never  dreamed it would be  me,
My  name  for  all  eternity,
Recorded here  at  this hallowed place
Alas, my name, no more  my  face.

"In  the  line of duty, " I hear them  say:
My  family  now  the  price  to  pay.
My folded flag  stained with  their  tears;
We  only had those  few  short  years.
The  badge  no longer  on  my chest,
I  sleep now in  eternal  rest.
My  sword  I  pass to those  behind,
And  pray  they  keep  this  thought  in  mind.

I  never  dreamed  it  would be  me,
And with  heavy  heart  and  bended  knee,
I  ask  for  all  here  from  the  past:
Dear God, let my  name  be  the  last.

Blessed are the peacemakers:  
for they shall be called the children OF GOD
