Some Called Him Pig

A bullet ended life: Another pensioned wife, And little children who Recall a suit of blue, And father they once knew.

This sad poem reminds me of a neighbor who became the first police officer killed in the line of duty in Tallahassee. His children were besides themselves with grief at his funeral. Beautifully written, Steve. Love, Carolyn
