Notes About The Poem

Thin-Blue-Line-American-Flag

_____

 

Danger -
an event uncalled for,
maybe involving a stranger
.................or,
someone you care about deeply
a child, a son, a daughter
father, mother, an aunt and more
an uncle, cousin, teacher and friend
when will the violence end?

Protect
the lives of many they may not know,
sometimes by doing what is best
while put to the test,
..........so -
will you join me?
we need to honor and respect the blue,
for everything they do . .



Back the Blue
______________

 

Respect the Blue

- life is precious -
thoughts from the heart

Yes, I will stand with you and support our courageous police officers.. There are bad people in every walk of life be they teachers, preachers, or yes even police officers but the majority of the good far outweigh the actions of a few. Very nice, Brandy.

I whisper "Thank You" every chance I can, when I see a Police Officer. If I am in their presence, I let them know how much I appreciate all they do. You and your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you Tom. ~ Brandy

Count me in. I think it is sad and actually disgusting how some are treating these people who get up every day, put on their uniform and walk out into a dangerous world in order to keep us safe. Nicely expressed Brandy. I'd say more but I forgot to bring my soapbox with me today.
