Each day I’m up before the first rays of the sun
And I thank God for the undying love I’ve won
~
She doesn’t speak when I leave our blessed bed
But I hear the worries in her heart that go unsaid
~
To me the uniform is an honor and the badge, a shield
To her they are reminders that evil will never yield
~
I am proud that she seldom gives in to the endless fear
She understands that I do it all to protect what I hold dear
~
We both treasure the nights when the streets are quiet
And together we dread the danger when people riot
~
They blame and hate when a black suspect happens to fall
They never hear the facts; CNN and NBC refuse to tell it all
~
Should I die in the streets will anyone march for me?
A least I know at my wake a sea of blue she’ll see.
~
Oh God, watch over my love if my time should come an end
Let her know down from Heaven my deepest Love I’ll send
