It Matters...
a poem dedicated to Officer Terry Polston
The time given
Many sacrifices made
Love freely flowing
Giant gentle arms
Embracing
Crushing
Full of grace
Full of love
Comforting others
during a valley of his own
Laughter rumbling
Completely filling
Smiles that overtake
Greatly missed
Always remembered
Legacies always
live on
Today was the memorial for OP...I cannot fathom what his family is going through. We rejoiced over his healing and being with Christ, but I miss his earthly presence. It was an honor to be able to be present at the memorial and see the honor that was bestowed upon this gentle giant who loved others and proves that it's the dash that counts on a headstone. I have never heard the final 1042 said upon the radios of emergency personnel and I am in awe of the dedication that these men and women have in serving others.
