Keeping Us Safe

Wakes up in the morning
Looks at his wife sleeping beautifully
Kisses her softly
Keeping her from waking

He gets ready for the day
Looks into the mirror
Wonders if this will be
The day the unthinkable happens

He drives into work
Walks into the locker room
Puts on his badge and gun
And sets off to the briefing room

Briefed on the new details of the job
What to look out for
Get in his car
And starts to serve

Most days nothing special
Minor arrests here and there
But one day it might happen
When he doesn't come home

These are the men and woman
Who serve and protect and serve
Putting their lives on the line everyday
To keep up safe.
