Cop on the Take
First he takes the oath.
Now
look at all he takes.
He takes it in stride when
people call him pig.
He takes time to stop and talk to
children.
He takes your verbal abuse while giving you a
ticket you really deserved.
He takes on creeps you would
be afraid to even look at.
He takes time away from his
family to keep you safe.
He takes your injured child to
the hospital.
He takes the graveyard shift without
complaint because it's his turn.
He takes his life into
his hands daily.
He takes you home when your car breaks
down.
He takes time to explain why both your headlights
have to work.
He takes the job no one else
wants--telling you a loved one has died.
He takes
criminals to jail.
He takes in sights that would make
you cry.
Sometimes he cries too, but he takes it anyway
because someone has to.
If he is lucky, he takes
retirement.
He takes memories to bed each night that you
couldn't bear for even one day.
Sometimes, he takes a
bullet.
And yes, occasionally he may take a free cup of
coffee.
Then one day he pays for all he has taken, and
God takes him.
Please remember that the "He" in all this
represents all police
officers, both men and women who
have served and are serving our
cities and their
citizens we have all sworn to protect.
God bless ALL
cops everywhere!
