THE BLUE SHIELD

It’s my birthday today
But my Daddy had to be away
He’s out protecting other families
To keep them safe from tragedies

I miss him but yet I understand
I know the meaning of the blue band
Our family is special in a way
Because Daddy does special work everyday

He is the protector of all children like me
So they can run and play and be free
Free from fear and terrible things
He is a special Angel without wings

If He did have wings they would be blue
Like the shield He wears for the world to view
Mommy says we should pray to God for Daddy each day
That He will protect Daddy and the people He saves

Please thank my Daddy on His special day today
That He protects everyone as they go out and play
Please say a prayer for all blue shields and families everyday
To keep them safe always and keep danger at bay

Thank you Laura. I just wanted to personalize this for the families of Law Enforcement. I wanted people to know that there is a living breathing person behind the badge who has a family and is a regular person like you and me. Its like a soldier and firemen - they chose to help protect the innocent in our country.

I agree Christian. On 911 who were the ones running the wrong direction? The policemen and the firemen. It takes special people to put their lives on the line when they know they have loved ones at home counting on them to come home safe. When they don't, it is devastating to the families and they are left to cope alone the best they can. Especially when the death is senseless like these executions we have had lately of innocent policemen.

Hi Travis. Please thank your brother-in-law for me for his service to his community and protecting its citizens. A lot of policemen consider it their sacred duty to do so.
