Dwayne Banks - Matthew Tyner

Matthew Tyner
Colorado Springs Motorcycle Police Officer

Valor has shown you made the step
Your life excelled; far from inept
Every day was an uphill battle to win
As a young man, you often asked when
When will the crown lay upon my head?
Family, true friends; yes, you were led
Led to adhere to the colors you wore
Your first day out, inside you swore
Swore to uphold truth and law
What happened next, no one saw
We see every day, trying to sustain
The ever present dogma wearing at our brain
You were taken for a reason, all can surmise
Rainy day nights, star lit skies
You are now in a place of peaceful sound
Amazing how this happens, you're heaven bound
You did all you could, you showed you're might
You're in the Lords' lap, no more fight
Please look down, bless all you can
You're the lucky one, you're with the Man! ! !
