Black To Blue

We fade to Black 
As we lose another Blue 
A band put on for respect
Not knowing who it will affect 
Responding to the unknown 
A family member on the receiving phone 
A HERO in Blue without a cape 
His fate could not escape 
A loss of a friend, a partner, a Blue 
A hero send off call 10-42
Taken too young he's back
A life as we fade Black
