I
had this friend
you see, who loved
God,
Country, You and me.
M
y friend went to
work day or night
the peace to keep, so you and I could sleep.
H
e worked the
holidays and weekends,
away from family and friends.
To keep this peace for you and me.
E
ach day this
friend put his life on the line
to spare yours and mine.
T hen one day he paid the price, he gave his life.
Y
ou've done well my
friend, patrolling these earthly streets.
Now it's time to walk on Heaven's beat.
T
he next time you
see a Police Officer or two,
remember they are one of God's Angels in Blue.
A nd God said; "B lessed are the P eace M akers. "
