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
