Thin Blue Line


They say it’s the career to select

The hours just tick away

The precious moments will collect

And time is up for today.

 

In the Line of Duty they come

With the badge on their chest

From every beat and drum

There is never rest.

 

Now the officer is accused

From morning to night

Of every kind of abuse

This is their plight.

 

They are my heroes for sure

Cause life would be a horrendous place

Without the thin blue line to secure

My home and every other base.
