Our sympathy goes out to those lost in the line of duty.
DON’T CRY FOR ME (A tribute to K-9 Kelly)
Don’t cry for me, because I’m still here
Sometimes I whisper that in your ear.
A K-9 partner for you, a friend for me
What a match we had begun to be.
So many times with you I’ll never forget
You made me a Deputy and also a pet.
I worked hard for you all the while
Nose to the ground, tracking for miles.
I wore my badge with a sense of pride
Waiting to find the perfect hide.
A love for the job through and through
I would’ve laid down my life for you.
Training together day after day
Work for you, for me just play.
I was invincible with you at my side
A strong personality I couldn’t hide.
The sickness that took me, I tried to fight
Who would ride with my partner at night?
I’m sorry to leave you and take a final fall
You tried to save me, you gave it your all.
Don’t cry for me, because I still roam
It was just my time, God called me home.
