"While travelling along It's never to late Take the road that leaves to love Not the one to hate Hate is what knocked these buildings down With love, we'll remember those no longer around Take the right road and you will see How much sweeter life will be The road may be uphill and strewn with stones so get rid of the weight and lighten the load At the summit there is a beautiful view All of God's peace open to you."Surviving Police Officer NYPD
REPORTING FOR DUTYOne day a police officer approaches Heaven's Gates The Police Officer from beneath weary eyes looks to St. Peter St. Peter says, "Who is this that approaches Heaven's Gate?" Have you always been a person free of prejudice or hate? The Police Officer looking gloom responds At times I have been cursed when I deal with those in life Snapped at my friends, my family, my wife Handled the evil of man with malice of heart My temper unchecked and allowed to blow off the chart I've show no mercy when mercy was due Put myself before others and sometime before God and you So if you turn me away I understand I've ruined my life alone by my own hand The Officer tears and hangs his head A heart full of pain and full of dread When by surprise St. Peter raises the Officers head he looks at St. Peter as he says, Though you admit your wrongs and apparently hard on one's self Our GOD is a loving GOD and expects you to forgive yourself It is apparent you have seen much while serving on earth But my son GOD forgave the day of your birth We are not all destined to live in hell come walk a beat on Heaven's Streets You carry your burdens well.

Hope Of N.Y.C."As the cleared away the rumble It appeared for all to see As rugged as 2000 years ago The hope of N.Y.C.Out o f the smoke And from the dust Arose the hope In which we trust.Like a beacon shinning Through the gloom Like a new life Bursting from the womb.Out of the hell Of pain and loss There suddenly stood That rugged cross.A sign that gives Us hope again To every woman Child and man.From a God who's love Cost Him His Son A price He paid For everyone.So here's the hope For N.Y.C. The hope in the cross Brought liberty.ByRikki-D
