The Eulogy

The Eulogy Standing at this funeral of friend and family too. My partner in his service to this uniform of blue. Another senseless killing they don't call it homicide. His sisters heart is breaking standing at their momma's side. God grant us the courage to face the days ahead. And where my partner sat an empty seat instead. Have mercy on his family have mercy on me too. Have mercy on us Lord that wear this color blue. Lead us through the valley's may it be peace we find. God protect our bodies and please protect our mind. Bring justice to his killer please Lord hear my plea. Don't let another brother fall victim to PTSD. Another senseless killing they don't call it homicide. His sisters heart is breaking standing at their momma's side. Edwin C Hofert
