First he takes the oath


Then he takes it in stride when people call him "pig"


He takes on creeps you would just be scared to look at


He takes time away from his family for you


He takes your injured child to the hospital


He takes the graveyard shift because its his turn


He takes his life in his own hands on a daily basis


He takes you home when your car breaks down


He takes the time to explain why both of your headlights must work


He takes the job no one else wants, telling you a loved one has died


He takes criminals to jail and takes their abuse while doing so


He takes in sites that would make you fall to your knees


Sometimes he cries also, but he takes it, because someone has to


If he is lucky, he will take his retiement


He takes memories to bed with him each and every night that you could

not bear for one night.

Sometimes he takes a bullet, and yes sometimes he takes a free cup of coffee


Then one day he pays for all that he has taken and God takes him home
