For an unknown reason god has choosen to take an another angel of this earth. To a brother in blue you have crossed the thin be blue for you're in a better place now.
To the man in Blue
Who has protected us through and through
For you are in a better place
As St. Paul meets you at the Pearly Gates
He says Son you have done your job well
As your brothers in blue say goodbye to you
Blue lights run as police cars lead the procession
Bagpipes played out over the land
Tears stream down out face
For we have lost another brother in blue
When will it end
To many have crossed the THIN BLUE LINE

It greatly saddens me everytime I hear that a brother behind the badge has been taken from us. You and your family are in our prayers.
