The Policeman stood  and faced his God,  which must always  come to pass. He hoped his shoes  were shining  just as brightly  as his brass.
“Step forward now, Policeman.  How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned  the other cheek?  To my church,  have you been true?”
the policeman squared his shoulders and said.  “No Lord,  I guess I ain't becuase those  who carry the badge  can't always be a saint.”
“I've had to work  most Sundays,  and at times,  my talk was rough,  and sometimes  I've been violent  becuase the streets are awfully tough.”
“But I never took a penny  that wasn't mine to keep, though I worked  a lot of overtime  when the streets  got too deep.”
“And I never  passed a cry for help, though at times,  I shook with fear.  And sometimes,  God forgive me,  I've wept unmanly tears.”
“I feel I don't deserve  a place among  your loved ones here.  They never seemed  to want me near,  except to calm their fear.”
“If you've a place for me here, Lord,  it needn't be so grand.  I never expected much,  but if you don't,  I'll understand."
Silence was all around  the throne where  the saints often trod.  As the Policeman  waited quietly for the  judgement of God.
"Step forward now, Policeman. You've borne your burdens well...  Come walk a beat on Heaven's Golden streets,  for I hold a special place  you to stay.”
For those who will not  turn and run away,  but run towards  the violence,  and into the bullets astray, and step between the citizian and the crook with the gun,
while knowing is his mind,  he just might  have to leave this word  and his family behind,  I give you my steets of gold for you to   peacefully patrol.
