For my brothers in blue

[392heminut]

 Tears of a Cop
*************
I have been where you fear to go...
I have seen what you fear to see...
I have done what you fear to do...
All these things I've done for you.

I am the one you lean upon...
The one you cast your scorn upon...
The one you bring your troubles to...
All these people I've been for you.

The one you ask to stand apart...
The one you feel should have no heart...
The one you call the man in blue...
But I am human just like you.

And through the years I've come to see...
That I'm not what you ask of me...
So take this badge and take this gun...
Will you take it? Will anyone?

And when you watch a person die...
And hear a battered baby cry...
Then so you think that you can be
All those things you ask of me...?

-Randy Myers

I have nothing but the highest regard for anyone who wears the badge and gun and does so with integrity and professionalism. Our LEOs here are a outstanding group and you do yourselves and your profession credit. My thoughts and prayers for your safe return home go up daily.
