Officer Out Of Service
I Never Dreamed It Would Be Me
I never dreamed it would be me,
my name for all eternity,
recorded here at this hallow 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.

For those not aware May 15th
is the Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Day Services. There is a Law Enforcement Memorial Center in
Washington, DC. Each year more names are engraved on to the marble walls. These are names of any law
enforcement officer that has lost his or her life while performing their duties. They have several different activities during the National Law Enforcement Week Events. You can find out all the details here:http://www.1nleomf.com
