Fallen Heroes Procession~

i wrote these words

We went to

 Honor

those who have fallen

Nine days ago

We lost 4 Police Officers

9 children

   spouses and loved ones

 NEVER HAD A CHANCE

TO SAY GOODBYE

i had posted this last year

then removed it

so many people had such terrible views

why these ones who had fallen

were getting so much attention

it bothered me then

and as i sit here this day

their ignorant words bother me still

 

if you were to die

would you not want to be honored

would you not want to be remembered

i think this is something each of us can only hope will be

when our days have come to an end here

reguardless of hero or citizen

were are human

no person deserves to have their life taken

by someone who mind is not so right

yes, people die everday

this will always be

yes,

we have loved one fighting and losing their lives at war

this will always be

people die

and

people forget

that is the sad part

why is it wrong to try to change our world

and the ways it once was

if the tables were turned

and it was their loved one whos life was taken

would they not be filled with overwhelming emotions

seeing a community

people

people whom they have never met

come to pay their respects

show they care

but this day

wasn't so

people complained all over the internet news and world

even my own grandfather spoke his words to me

he couldn't believe i was taking our littles down

 to stand with others

when people die everyday

and nothing like this is ever done

why are they any different

no different they are

but we

 as individuals are

and can be

we can put forth the effort and show that we care

stand side by side

and maybe just maybe

this would come to be more

those who put their lives in danger day after day

and

by chance they encounter a fatal gunshot

or a horrific crime

WE

SHOULD

HONOR

and not

turn our heads

bicker about such

i rarely rant upon this space

but 1 year has passed

and guilty i have always felt

for taking this post down

my

 FATHER

a police officer for a few years

then

served our country for 23 years

shot four different times in the vietnam war

he is here

he is living

an angel was on his side

if these had been my father or loved one

i would have felt only unconditional love

to each that has fallen

this could be

if people

 stopped complaining

and

took a stand to make a change

that morning as i stood there

along the street

holding hands with my littles

tears falling from my eyes

i was proud to be apart of our community

a community who showed they

CARED

life has changed

life always will

and

i can only continue

to hope for such goodness to come

for people to put aside their difference

reguardless of right or wrong

color or religion

and

stand united

just because

 its not the way it has always been

doesn't mean it can be

NOW

...stop for a moment...

put yourself in one of those cars

what would you be feeling

as you rode along

street after street

seeing hundreds of people line the way

people

ONLY TRYING TO HELP EASE YOUR PAIN

~Gone but not Forgotten~

there are no words greater to share with one

so all  i can simply say is

Thank You

 to each who who stands before us

to protect

and

serve our country
