Questions?

Why do you put that thing over your heart
Before each tour of duty, you do start?

Why do you work so much
And miss my parties and such?

When I go to bed at night, most of the time you away

I hope you will be home soon, and this time you must
stay!

Why are the bad guys the ones that you chase
Is it to make our world a much safer place?

What is the title of your job, is it Agent, Sheriff
or Cop?
If it is any of these law enforcement people, please
don't stop!

There is only one reason for us to feel safe,
Knowing that people like you are in place!
