“Anonymous Voices”

We sit in a room…
So dark and small…
Waiting for …
A 911 call…
We listen to your voice…
And hear your pain…
We want to help….
Although at times it seems to be in vain…
Our job isn’t glamorous…
It isn’t for all…
We’re there to help…
When you make that call…
There’s crying…
And screaming….
And small voices in pain…
That breaks our hearts….
But in that there’s [...]

“Angel In Blue”

A fallen hero
an angel in blue
strong and brave
his heart ever true
He vowed to protect
no matter the pain
men women and children
in sunshine and rain
His badge was more
than a shining pin
it was honesty, sacrifice
glowing from within
He gave of his time
his love and his life
adored his children
worshipped his wife
Never counting the cost
he never gave up hope
even when all seem [...]

An Angel in blue

Angels come in all makes and style,
the ones I met were content with a little boys smile,
They wore suits of blue, drove cars with flashing lights,
I saw no wings, no halo’s in sight,
Those I saw came as troopers for our state,
and for a special little boy it was hard to wait,
Like wise men brought gifts to [...]

An Officer Blesses the food

“An Officer’s Grace“
Lord, Please bless this food before me,
Shimmering in speckled grease,
To be washed down with scalding coffee;
That’s powerful, to say the least.
My doctor said don’t eat it,
Because it’s bad for my stomach and  heart,
but the health food places all close
before the grueling night watch starts.
He says I’ll shorten my life span,
That I won’t get [...]

Hes always on the job.

“Always On the Job“    
Just another man is what he had started out to be,
Then he took an oath to serve and protect you and me.
I wonder sometimes if they get more than they bargained for,
When the way for them is so narrow with so many closed doors.
How could they let a murderer back out on [...]

Im just a dispatcher.

 

I TAKE A BREATH AS I SIT DOWN,
GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH TO MAKE THIS ROUND
SO MANY LIVES, I HOLD IN HAND,
SO MANY PEOPLE WITH DEMANDS.
MY FIRST CALL, A CHILD IS SCREAMING,
DADDY’S BEATING MOM AND SHE’S NOT BREATHING.
IT’S HARD TO DEAL WITH AND STAY CALM,
THE CHILD YELLS, “DAD’S GOT A GUN!”
I HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL [...]

“A Policeman was killed last night”

“A Policeman was killed last night”
A policeman was killed last night.
He died while protecting your rights.
His creed was to protect and serve.
This fate he didn’t deserve.
A mom and dad have lost a son.
So many other jobs he could’ve done.
His wife and kids are left alone.
Their daddy won’t be coming home.
His fellow officers are hurt [...]

A kiss good bye

 
“A Kiss Good-bye”

A kiss good-bye and off you go,
If I’ll see you in the morning, I never really know?
You say its your duty to protect our fair town,
I see the love in your eyes, even though some people say you frown.
The badge you wear with such loyal pride,
And many a bad guy knows he’d better [...]

A Dispatchers Prayer

Dear Lord, help me keep safe those who depend on me. Give me
healthy ears, for they are my link with those who need me. Keep my
mind sharp and alert, my fingers quick and nimble. Grant that I never forget how to do ten things at once, and do them all equally well. Bless me with [...]
