This poem was sent to me by someone who is very dear to me in the Philadelphia Police Dept, Tony L. With his permission, I am posting it here. It was inspired as he left his daughter's party one night, and on other times when he would get called out.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Questions
Why do you put that thing over your heart
Before each tour of duty, you do start?
Why do you work so much
And miss my parties and such?
When I go to bed at night, most of the time you away
I hope you will be home soon, and this time you must stay!
Why are the bad guys the ones that you chase
Is it to make our world a much safer place?
What is the title of your job, is it Agent, Sheriff or Cop?
If it is any of these law enforcement people, please don't stop!
There is only one reason for us to feel safe,
Knowing that people like you are in place!
Inspired by the questions asked by the author's young daughter prior to going out on a K-9 search. Tony Laforet-Philadelphia Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit.
Dedicated to all the heros who so bravely gave their all on September 11, 2001
