I take one last look, and straighten my tie, inspecting myself as I am passing by......
then at my front door, I stop to prepare, with these words to god, as I am kneeling there.......
"Dear God, send your strength and wisdom my way....
protect me so I will live through this day......
Please help me not to be so full of pride, I don't want to lose what I feel inside.......
though i wear a badge and carry a gun, I am really just here to help everyone.....
It's nice to see smiles on faces each day, but God when I am near those smiles go away.....
I want them to know when i drive around, I am only just here protecting their ground.......
I like to have fun, and sometimes I cry, I even get lonely and I don't know why.......
If given the chance, I think they would see, there really is no difference between them and me.....
I will never abuse, nor will i condemn, I chose this job, I do it for them...
It's trust and respect that makes me succeed, but it must be earned, before it's recieved.......
When I took my oath, my witness was you, enforcing our laws, as i promised to do.......
So just for today, let people see, a person no different, then when they look at me.......
I give you my hand, for guidence out there, as I pray to you A Policeman's Prayer........
