A Policeman Dies. Poem by Michael Gale

A Policeman Dies.

Rating: 5.0


A bullet to the chest...
Don't know, that, he'll pass the test.

The test of life, his-given up for the law...
Only because, he answered the call.

He leaves behind a family of three...
A wife and a daughter, and son, they be.

They be sad, at his passing...
Sadness forever remembered, ever lasting.

Lonely hours into minutes, then ten...
That father's name, was Ben.

This man will be honoured, by officers, be many...
His time here is up, His time-gone-minutes-not any.

Memories his-Life was good...
His many career's, exploits of bravery,
Long over-due, by Hollywood.
