Codi Johnson:  

d the sky, And I ask the lord,” Why oh why?” My shiny gun & my badge reflect, But I couldn’t help the one I should protect. His whole life he learn from me, But I let him down, how could that be? I’m the one that puts his life on the line, So for to kids like my son, life will be just fine. The doctor said the surgery went well, But we’re not really sure only time will tell. I cried and shook, then wondered why, The dart that did this had to fly. I was there with him when he woke up, Holding his hand and giving him ice from a cup. I asked if he felt okay, He said he was sorry for playing that way. “Dads not scared no matter what he does,” When I’ve asked him why, he says,” Just because.” I didn’t realize suck a small man, Would really truly understand. I learned a lesson from my son that day, Even though I didn’t know it I showed him the way. As he grows up he learns from me, The ways of the world and how life should be. He’ll go on with life no matter how hard it may be, And I’ll know deep inside that he learned it from me. I talked to my dad and said, “It’s really true…” Then I hugged him and said, “You know dad… I learned it from YOU!” Author: Tim (badge) Johnson November 16, 2000 ".
