Now That You’re a Baltimore Police Angel

I didn’t have time to say I love you
I didn’t have time to say how much I cared
I didn’t have time to tell you how proud I was
I didn’t have time to show you, how I really felt

I didn’t have time to say I’m sorry
I didn’t have time to hold you one last time
The day you where taken away from me
Has left me helpless...hurting..., oh what can i do!

My hands are tied, I can’t fly
I wanna reach for the sky
To feel your soul, one more time
My hands are tied, I can’t fly
What do I do, where do I go,
I miss you so much, I feel empty inside
I can’t let go, my heart won’t die
My hands are tied, I can’t fly

I didn’t have time to sew up, those deepest wounds
I didn’t have time to give us another chance
You being swept away like a leaf in the park,
Has left me, helpless, hurtin....oh what can I do...!

If I only I Had Another Chance,
If Only I knew you’d be leaving so fast
The hardest thing for me you know....
Is that I didn’t have time, no I didn’t have time, no I didn’t have time
to say Goodbye........GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!

You're looking at me, saying it’s all right, but I can’t hear

POLICE BURIAL RITUAL

“We come to pay our last respects to the member of the Baltimore Police Department who has answered his last call on earth. He has gone out on his last assignment of duty. He has been promoted to a BLUE ANGEL and we gather to honor his memory. We shall never be the same because we have known him and we are affected by everyone whom he know. So, because we have known and because he has served in the dangerous, and the enforcement of law, as fellow police officers, we take time amid the busy rush of this world to stand quietly for these moments and express the sadness in our hearts and by our presence here, show our real sense of loss and our determination that he shall not be forgotten.

We gather here to salute as a real Officer and a real Gentleman, this comrade of our, who has left us. We petition the King of Kings, to write all his faults in the sand so that the wind can blow them away.

Let us pray: Our Father, we Pray that in this hour of our need, thou shall be very near. May thy blessing of helpfulness be with everyone that mourns. Hold in the arms of Your Infinite love, the relatives and family of our departed comrade and as we are reminded by this occasion of the shortness of life and the need for our doing now that which we are to do, we ask that Thou wilt help us to be better men and officers. May Thou blessing surround and keep us all. AMEN

And now, would every police officer stand at attention in silence for a moment as we salute once more, and for the last time, this departed member of our agency.

*****************************************************

 

Don’t grieve for me, I served Baltimore well,

I loved the job, more than you could tell,

I am now an Angel in blue,

I laid my life on the line for you,

I wore my badge with honor every day,

To keep the citizens of Baltimore safe and out of harms way,

So when you see a BALTIMORE POLICE Badge worn with pride,

Remember their comrades and friends that have died
