Throughout history the wolves have always been at the door
Always waiting for an opertune moment to strike
Be they wolves disguised, or in plain sight
Always there
Always waiting
But there have always been men and women who step up to face them
without question
Shepherds in another way
A thin blue line stood between all that we cherish and those who would take that away, one attack at a time.
One of that blue line stood and did his duty.
He stood where others ran
He looked into the eyes of the wolves and did not falter
He stood fast to protect his sworn flock
He died in a battle for good.
