I come to you from the land.
Making tribute to Cleveland's finest
With appreciation, love and kindness.
Red hats and associates
In black, race to horrific scenes
In rescue of fellow human beings.
Shadows with badges
Fighting off bastards and backlashes
Cashes in on credentials and masters,
Trying to keep us safe and away
From souls visiting our pastors.
For you are known as our hero!
Heros aren't easy to find,
Never disguised to the blind.
Always teaching us the lesson of the wise.
Taking us from the lows to the highs.
Giving us the strength,
To stand up and rise.
For this is my tribute to you,
In appreciation of what you do.
May God continue to bless us all
With the gifts we see in you..
