A Fallen Officer, Jason

Your time was too soon sweet Jason please wait

There's so many things that we wanted to say,

How proud we are of what you've become,

If only to hold you once more my son.

Our hearts they ache, the pain is so great,

God why did you take him, why couldn't it wait.

So young and so full of what life's all about,

this child of ours we must now live without.

They lined up for miles and they all said goodbye

but for us it's too painful, we're still asking why?

A son, a brother, a hero to all,

To serve and protect he lived by the law.

"It was my time and that you must see,

When God called, well, he needed me."

"To serve and protect is what I shall do,

each night as you sleep I'll watch over you."

"Hold back the tears of pain that you cry,

don't ask the questions how or why?"

"Just know that I love you with each passing day

your guardian angel, to help guide your way."

A son, a brother, a hero to all
