Readiness Is All, For I Am A Police Officer

I am ready to go,

when everyone else is thinking to go,

I will get my man.

Go I will, and get I will,

An astray man with a deviant thought,

with harm to sow.

I was on my beat,

When I heard my heart’s Calling,

Just a moment ago.

My Love, my sweet, promise to be brave,

Hold back your tears,

Make it easy for me to go.

 For the sake of humanity,

Life of hopes, sunshines, and dreams,

Could be let go.

For me, Readiness is all,

Readiness to sacrifice is all,

 Every Calling is destiny,

And as always, I am ready to go.

Readiness to Sacrifice

My lifelong mission in life is to offer my support for the police officers who need to be supported and protected by general public like us. My inspiration to do this comes from my personal experiences of some of the greatest police officers whom I have witnessed do great deeds for the good of humanity.

  7. I don’t think I have mentioned this but my step brother is a police officer in New York and some of the horrors he has experienced with 9/11 and other tragedies I wonder how he has the courage to do it. Your page is such a beautiful dedication

    • WOW! I did not know this but You must be proud of your brother. My blog honors our protectors and no doubt the job of a Police Officer has a lot of challenges. We cannot even comprehend how these superb human beings cope with the pressures of every day work which is so challenging and dangerous. We can honor and respect them and thank them and pray for them, at least. Thank you for liking my page of dedication my friend. I appreciate it so much and it encourages my passion to do even better. Thank you so much for sharing this personal detail. Take care and have a lovely weekend,.

  9. Thank you for sharing the heart of the Police Force Samina, if we don’t stand for something we will fall for everything and the Police stand by the Law knowing it is for the good of everyone but what if it was not and only based on evil like in Hitler’s Government, this is why each of us has to decide who we follow, man or God.

    Jesus was hated and ignored because He chose His Fathers will even to His death , He tells us those who are hard – hearted will ignore His Truth and hate those who bring it.

    I see this steadfastness with our Police Force, yes they are sometimes verbally abused and not respected as they should be but this does not alter their stand for enforcing the Law, hated or Loved, they remain committed.

    Christian Love from both of us – Anne

    The words that captured my heart with this poem were “For the sake of humanity!” Such service, dedication, strength, bravery, and willingness to endure the things they do. They have to overcome fear of death, knowing their lives are on the line at all times. I admire and really appreciate the way men and women who choose this “calling” carry out their duties. Fine post, Samina, like always! You give us a lot to think about and remind us to thank our community workers.

    • Thanks for liking the poem and yes everything came from the heart. You know I wrote this poem by just looking at the photo of the Police Officer and the words just came out of my heart. It is amazing Ellie. Maybe my passion is becoming very strong with every moment. I brought tears to your eyes and your comment doubled me up in laughter. LOL. Yes I live among very beautiful people including my hubby, and the setting of my house is pacific west coast. Overlooking the pacific and surrounded by lot of beautiful people of law enforcement and even the pets here are good looking, one can think of nothing else but beauty. Beautiful people with beautiful characters and hearts living among the beauty of nature is a blessing of God. I am specially blessed by God. Thanks for making my day. You are beautiful Ellie. Take care and God bless.

  17. I really look forward to your posts, actually they have taught me to look at police men with a different angle, we Indians are so allergic to them that mostly we forget that not all of them are bad, you make me realize that quite a handful of them are good too!

    keep them coming!

    • Hi! Sharmishtha my lovely friend. I am greatful that you look forward to my posts. It is a great compliment to me. Yes I believe even in Indian Police Force you will find good people. The tragedy is that only a handful of bad people can sometimes tarnish the image of the majority of good police force. I read your comment on my last post that you wait for my post and I was so thrilled I quickly put up this post since I didn’t want to let you down. See the power you have. Thanks for such an encouragement my good friend. Take care and God bless you.

    • Thank you so much my friend and it was Eid today and Canadian Thanksgiving yesterday. On both these occasions people offer special thanks to God for everything that He has blessed us with. Turkey dinners are served to the less fortunate in the churches and other places. People cook special turkey meals and invite friends over dinner and offer thanks. These days are special days no doubt. You take care and God bless.
