There is
a place in Heaven where a victim's soul can
go
A place to teach some others about the
things they know
Some of them were parents with little girls
and boys
They helped them do their homework and
assemble all their toys
Many of them were babies with no chance to
survive
No one really cared for them when they were
alive
If they only had a chance to live a little
longer
It may have given time enough for bonds to
grow much stronger
Too many of them were teenagers, promising
futures still ahead
They now have to live their dreams up in
Heaven instead
As unsuspecting victims, when danger did
appear
It may not have occurred to them that help
was nowhere near
Every day people risk their lives for people
they don't know
A selfless act of kindness shows us just how
far they'll go
To help someone in trouble have a better
chance to live
It's bringing hope to others that they risk
their lives to give
Professionals who take an oath to protect us
and to serve
Also lose their lives for us as we know they
don't deserve
They are the ones that chose their life for
the good of all mankind
Very special people they are rare, and hard
to find
The bad ones that are out there that left
our loved ones battered
Have no shame for all the pain and the lives
that they left shattered
Some of them have been caught and tried but
others are still free
In the end when we find them its justice,
they too, will see
