Miami's Angel and Son - Ode to Horatio Caine

by Sunshine68

In silence, he stands at the edge of the tide,

A proud strong protector; he's on our side,

The sentinel waits to stop evil and crime,

Always to be there at the drop of a dime.

Hair like raging fire has this man,

Don't cross the line he draws in the sand.

Keen eyes for even the smallest detail.

For certain he'll be sure all crime sets sail.

Sapphire blue eyes of an eagle alert and keen

He works over every detail of each crime scene.

For those who have been silenced he gives a voice;

To the criminals, no mercy, absolutely no choice.

To find the clues, the evidence to collect,

An ace CSI team he's been able to select.

Delko, Duquesne, Boa Vista and Mr. Wolfe,

With H leading the pack, Miami's super sleuth.

Don't play with his intelligence,

He's got too much sense

His gut instincts serve best - his guide,

Don't mess with him - justice is on his side

To those who dare, Miami's his city;

For those who do evil, he has no pity.

No matter how hard you try to hide,

He'll pounce like a wave on a strong tide.

His badge, to protect and serve that's his job;

His shoulder he'll give should you need to sob.

He too a victim of crime allows him to relate,

To do good for all, accepted destiny from Fate.

Don't think twice, he'll be there when you call,

He'll work hard to make sure justice doesn't fall.

So, when you feel down - victim of crimes done,

Anytime call on this man - Miami's angel and son.
