You stare in the mirror asking, “Who are you?”Knowing very few women can do what you do
Your friends and family don’t really understand
Consider yourself lucky if you have a man
Your kids often ask, “When is mommy coming home?”
Although they’re being cared for, you feel you’ve left them alone
You’re always exhausted and you rarely eat
Because you’re always on patrol or walking the beat
You took an oath to protect and serve
But there’s always one idiot that gets on your nerve
The men you work with are checking you out
You politely ignore them; that’s not what you’re about
You work extra hard to prove you belong
To include lifting weights, to be just as strong
You’ve handled your share of arguments and fights
To include difficult decisions of doing what’s right
It’s the end of your shift and Thank God you survived
Not many Women in Blue come through it alive!
