Rainbow

The smell of fresh rain
In a cool country Spring breeze;
Rainbow on winter.

My Brother

On a cold slick morning Snow and ice veils the ground The pager is going off “An officer is down!” As I drive my patrol car Flashing red and blue lights The siren is wailing Piercing the night The radio was silent Then my heart started to yelp When I heard his voice Begging for help He’s been struck by a semi Trying to close a road All I can do, is pray As I keep driving in code As I get to the scene His unit looks bad Please LORD be with him Stay strong…Chad Thoughts cross my mind As the drama uncovers He’s going to be okay Thanks for not taking MY BROTHER __________________________ A TRUE ACCOUNT

S.W.A.T.

The call comes in to meet
To rendezvous at a secret place
I quickly get suited up
And take my rifle from its case

As we drive down the road
All huddled up in a van
Checking our equipment
Preparing to execute the plan

As we approach the house
Not knowing what lies ahead
With a halligan in hand
they lie asleep in bed

The battering ram strikes
as break and rake hooks crash
Confusion fills the air
with broken shards of glass 

Securing hands in zip-cuffs
The METH-lab’s still hot
Just another night
In the life of S.W.A.T.

Traffic Stop

Driving down the road, 
I bring my unit to a stop. 
A speeding violation, 
A typical day as a cop.
 
As I exit my unit, 
Random shots pierce the night. 
I take cover behind my car, 
And put him in my sights.
 
Two shots leave my weapon, 
Striking him in his chest. 
I looked down at my body, 
And took one in my vest.
 
There’s no such thing as routine, 
In the life of a cop. 
‘Cause one can lose his life, 
In any random stop.

Son To Father

When I was just a kid, 
I’d watch you dress in blue. 
Knowing that someday, 
I’d be just like you.
 
When you’d leave my eyes brimmed, 
And quickly started to stream. 
I idolized you in everyway, 
And wanted to live your dream.
 
Now that I am older, 
I realize I’m like you. 
Polishing my badge, 
And walking in your shoes. 

I think about your words, 
While filling in my blotter. 
I’m pleased to be like you; 
The pride of son to father.
