A tribute to fallen-Hero Nick Hopkins


It’s-Just “What” Heroes-do!
(to-be whisper-wind softly-spoken with Honor! & Respect!)
 
No fanfare did Nick-seek only doing what he-knew
No one seemed-to-notice: It’s just what Heroes-do!
Fate knocked that-Friday hailing this Man-in-blue!
 
He-touched each trio-child and kissed “Good-bye!” his-wife
Left-home in his trooper-police car celebrating a Blessed-life
 

A Good-man of easy-smile! Considerate! Loyal! Friend!
Worked-hard! Played-free! Always sure to his Love!-send!
 
Myriad! The-Good!” in-man! An Honor! & Respect!-part!
A kind-gesture aid-to-lady touched-soft her tender-heart
 
Accolades! A-plethora! Now---“All”-celebrate ourHero-Nick!
A community heart-broken “flag-waves” this Red! White! Blue!-pick!
 
Streets-lined with countrymen-Proud! To show our colors-true!
America-the-Great!---Always!...We offer-Love! Our sacred-due!

 

Dare-emulate a fallen-Hero Nick by doing the very-best we-can
What we-have? Where we-are? Be an Honor-Respect life-fan!
 
An exemplar-Nick challenges each to practice Christian-generosity
Be Happy-in your-kindness-living! of easy-giving preponderancy!
 
Participate-not in apathy-dishonor allowing such-Hero die-in-vane
Sweet-Love! true-shared eternal maintains a worthy-civilization sane

 

Bless your progeny with a “touch” as thee gentle-kiss thy-spouse kind
On yonder trek-of-life tight-hold sacred-such precious-memory in-mind
 
No fanfare did Nick-seek only doing what he-knew
No one seemed-to-notice: It’s just what Heroes-do!
Fate knocked that-Friday hailing this Man-in-blue!
Honor!-Respect! for-Heroes pays sacred-privilege due
 
Live! Love! Laugh! Focus-contemplate!
Vigilant-be! No-one’s future is ever late!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!
 
Amen!
