TEARS OF A COP—by unknown
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
Do you think that you can be
All those things you ask of me?
Policeman's Prayer
Lord, bless the ones who wear the badge;
the ones who walk the beat. Protect and keep them safe while they're on the street.
As they wait and as they watch, doing good for all, guide their minds and give them strength, for each and every call.
Ready to put their lives on the line. Give them courage each day. Let them know you're always there in each and every way.
So bless the ones who wear the badge. Protect them from harm. Always keep them safe and in your loving arms.
