Crystal Brook Heroes

Our shifts are duly spent Of police duty known and meant And inquiries followed through In the daily things we do One day this can turn dangerous When this duty becomes onerous And an offender attacks unclean With a sharp weapon stabbing mean For Ian Todd and Jordan Allely were stabbed At Crystal Brook by Sean Ferris so bad And Ferris was shot down in the attack With these officers surviving as a fact But this was not the end of the fight For Ian and Jordan it was not light With a neighbour on the spot Stemmed the blood flowing a lot The other police ands paramedics were there Saving both officers for operations later with care We were all thankful for both being saved Hoping and praying for their lives so brave Hail to both of our brothers we say Speedy recovery for them from the wounds that day Our appreciation to all the emergency services helping them And the neighbour a thank-you we send. © Paul Warren Poetry
