The Eulogy
The Eulogy
Standing at this funeral
of friend and family too.
My partner in his service
to this uniform of blue.
Another senseless killing
they don't call it homicide.
His sisters heart is breaking
standing at their momma's side.
God grant us the courage
to face the days ahead.
And where my partner sat
an empty seat instead.
Have mercy on his family
have mercy on me too.
Have mercy on us Lord
that wear this color blue.
Lead us through the valley's
may it be peace we find.
God protect our bodies
and please protect our mind.
Bring justice to his killer
please Lord hear my plea.
Don't let another brother fall
victim to PTSD.
Another senseless killing
they don't call it homicide.
His sisters heart is breaking
standing at their momma's side.
