An Officer's Heart

Every night I go to work I put on my uniform Kiss my wife and kids good night then do that to which I'm sworn I never know what lies ahead on any given night I could just write citations or be called out to a fight We cops have gotten a bad rap but if people only knew We're not out to get them there's so much more we do We run into burning buildings to save people trapped inside We try to comfort parents when they learn their kid has died And when our shift is over and the reports have been filled out Sometimes we get discouraged and often we may doubt If this is our true calling or if we need to leave We too are just human and many times we grieve But in the end we realize we wouldn't trade a thing Nothing can compare to the satisfaction our job brings
