I never dreamed it would be me,
my name for all eternity.
Recorded at some hallowed place,
alas, my name, no more my face.
"In the line of duty" I hear them say.
My family now has the price to pay.
My folded flag stained with their tears,
we only had a few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest,
I sleep now, in eternal rest.
My sword I pass to those behind,
I pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never thought it would be me,
with heavy heart upon bended knee,
I ask for all here from the past...
Please dear God, let my name be last.

Rest in Peace Officer Felton, we have the watch. Gone But Not Forgotten.

My apologies. The last name is Feltis. It's been one of those days.
