Tribute to Heroes- Jim Zura

Comfort
For The Families of Heroes

The Holidays are a time of joy for many, but for those who've lost a loved one, the blessings are tempered with sorrow and void. The families of Law Enforcement officers who gave their lives to the line of duty were offered some comfort with a poem and video during this past holiday season.
Harris County Sergeant Shirley Ashcraft (a talented poet in her spare time) wrote a beautiful, touching poem to help give these families a spritual uplift, in a way that only a fellow law enforcement officer can have the insight to do.

TPT's Jim Zura produced the 3-minute video.
Here's Shirley's Poem: Remember as the holidays Come knocking at your door I couldn't be more proud of you I couldn't love you more I think about you every day You're always on my mind I'll send my messages to you Through memories that bind Buy an angel for the mantel A Santa for the door Hang garland over the window Lay presents on the floor Light up the Christmas tree each night To let the tinsel glow Put every ornament we have On limbs both high and low Light candles laced with cinnamon Let Christmas fill the air Have friends and family around Tell stories that we shared Each time you hold a photograph I'll reach out for your hand And as you rise each coming day By your side, I will stand These wings will send a gentle breeze You'll feel upon your face And with the sun you'll surely have The warmth of my embrace The endless ocean waves will show How life continues on And in your heart and soul I'll be Where memories are strong As each day sets, the moon will rise And stars will shine above I'll send you dreams of days filled with Our happiness and love Be strong, have faith, continue on Though we may be apart Replace your tears and smile for me My flame burns in your heart (Copyright 2001 by Shirley Ashcraft)
