| Three Angels walked up to the Lord who was working into his sixth day of creation and said" You're working a lot of overtime building this one. What could you posibably be doing to this one that is differant then the others you have already made?" " Because my Angels, the specs on this order is very important and must be followed very carefully." The Lord said." Their technical name is "Police Officer" Once these creations are finished I will send them down to protect those who are not strong enough to protect themselves." Interested in what the Lord had to say the Angels said " Tell us more almighty leader." "A police officer must stay on his toes at all time and have nerves of steel. He must push away his fears in order to save a family in a car that's threatening to go off the side of a cliff. A police officer must find the wisdom in their hearts to help a lost girl who had wondered away from her home. He must move quick in order to dodge stray bullets as they threaten to take an innocent life. He must set aside all the feelings of anger when he learns that another has sencelessly harmed one of my children . He has to be able to lift three times his own weight and console a grieving mother while watching the medical team try to save her baby after a collision with a drunk driver. (Even though he knows in his heart that the baby will soon be here with me) This Police Officer must be in top mental condition at all times while running on little or no sleep and half eaten meals. He has to be able to switch his emotions from being a tuff and firm officer for the drug dealer who has just sold cocaine to a twelve year old boy, to one who is compationant and understanding to the fear of the woman who was beaten bloody by her own husband who had promised me that he would love her." " Wow, how is this possible? sounds way to much for one creation to do. how are you going to be able to put this Police Officer together?" The Angel asked " Oh that's the easy part." The Lord said." The hard part is going to figure out the three pairs of eyes." " Three, Why three pairs? Why not just one pair? The Angel asked " One pair of eyes just isn't enough." The lord said. Seeing his angel trying to desprately understand the Lord added" One set of eyes sees open sores as he's fighting with an obvious addict who's loosing blood from a fresh needle mark, he asks this person if it's possible that he may be HIV possitive Even though he already knows and wishes for the first time that he was an accountant instead. The other pair of eyes will be used so that he can keep an eye on his partner's safety as well as his own. And the last pair will be used to look down at a victim who's afraid he'll never walk again after being struck by a car. Although his stomach turns at the blood loss he still looks reassuringly and says " You'll be okay man" (Even though in his heart he doesn't believe in his own words) try to stay calm because help is on the way." " Lord, I can see why this creation is hard." The Angel said. Then touching the all mighty's sleeve he added" Hey why don't you rest and work on this one tomorrow?" " I cant for two reasons." The Lord declined " One reason I can't is because there's a man who just raped and killed a woman. Now even as we speak, he's holding the dead woman's child up as hostage so that he can escape the situation. The other reason is there's a teenage girl who's run away and now at age four teen she's selling herself just for the chance she would survive the cold and very harsh streets. She crying because she's giving up and if I dont get these Police officers done she will soon try to take her own life." The Lord then bowed his head and said." No as much as I'd like these Police officers are needed in my not so perfect world." Hearing the Lords words the Angel then circled the new creation and asked." Can it think?" " Yes it can think." Answered the Lord." It can tell you exactly how a car wreck happened when he wasn't even there. He can fill out a stack of reports when to anyone else these forms would look like greek. With his words wisdom he can talk a man down of a high rise building who's threatening to take his own life and coax a frightened elderly man to unlock his door after this man was attacked by another over a pack of cigarettes. He has to do all these things while in the back of his mind he's wondering how he's going to feed his own family and pay the morgage on a small paycheck. Looking deeper into the Lords new creation the Angel stopped. Running her finger gently across the dampened cheek of the Police officer." There's a leak." She said. " Perhaps your trying to put too much into this creation." " My Angel that is not a leak." The Lord said." It is a tear." Walking up to his new creation he too ran his finger over the single droplet of water and said. " This tear is one of many he will shed during his life. It's a sign is for a the emotions that the Police Officer must keep bottled up. It's for all the victims who he watched as another took their lives away. It's for the times he had to break the news to a wife and six childen that they will never see their husband or daddy again. Lastly it's for their commitent to the world and their hope that they will make a differance in a person's chance to surive before help can arrive. " I like this idea All Mighty, you're a genious." The Angel said. " My Angel, I didn't put that tear there, he did." The Lord words were spoke softly as he and his Angel together stared at the perfect creation he called " A Police Officer."
