Love in Blue
by lancellot
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 |
