Off he goes, to be a Missouri State Trooper,
The dream he’s always had.

As I watch him leave, I pray he will return safe and sound.

He will be gone for six months, six months too long.
I know he will be returning when he is done with
boot camp, to start his new career. A new career
lies ahead, a brand new line of work for the new
Missouri State Trooper.

Proud to be wearing blue, he will now begin to keep
the streets quiet, embrace those who just lost a
loved one, and help that little one who’s lost find his parents.

Proud to be a Missouri State Trooper, he will serve
and protect. Something he has longed to do for a
lifetime, something that takes a big heart to do.

A caring friend and family member;
a caring person all around he will always be.

A Missouri State Trooper he will be until he retires;
my guardian angel he will ALWAYS be.

In my thoughts, in my dreams, and in my heart,
he will always be a Missouri State Trooper.
