Two Deputies Form of the Week Rondolet
Two Deputies

Their mothers weep
Our safety, their priority.
we mothers weep
Pledged to protect, a vow to keep.
charged with our security
the law as their authority.
A mother weeps.

We mothers weep
when our brave protectors are killed,
more mothers weep.
We worry the price is too steep.
A simple traffic stop, life stilled.
Domestic call, one more death willed.
All mothers weep.
                    ~~Judi Van Gorder
