On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate families of Lt. Gordon Ambelas, and the extended Fire families of the Fire Department City Of New York. Rest in Peace brothers and watch over us. When you weep for me Brother when you weep for me Remember it was meant to be Lay me down and when you leave Remember Ill be at your sleeve In every dark and choking hall Ill be there as you slowly crawl On every roof in driving snow Ill hold your coat and you will know In cellars hot with searing heat At windows where a gate youll meet In closets where young children hide You know Ill be there at your side The house from which I now respond Is overstaffed with heroes gone Men who answered one last bell Did the job and did it well As firefighters we understand That deaths a card dealt in our hand A card we hope we never play But one we hold there anyway That card is something that we ignore As we crawl across a weakened floor For we know that we are the only prayer For any one who might be there So remember as you wipe your tears The joy I knew throughout the years As I did the job I loved to do I pray this thought will see you through.
