This Other Place
I fought the fight, For the human race,
I go now to, This Other Place.
Those gone before me, Without disgrace,
I'm welcome here, This Other Place.
Among my peers, An empty space,
I leave them for, This Other Place.
My family cries, A last embrace,
A part of them in, This Other Place.
They lay me down, On satin and lace,
My carriage to, This Other Place.
As I leave here, By God's grace,
I'm needed in, This Other Place.

While visiting the beautiful Texas Peace Officers Memorial, a terrible error was noted. Those fallen officers of the TDCJ however few, were missing. A mistake that will not be repeated here.
