Kirsty Boden, Hero of London Bridge

An Australian Hero was recognised by the Queen today. Hail to her, a modern hero. Kirsty Boden “She showed courage and compassion putting the lives of others before hers during a terrifying and tragic event.” Kirsty Boden, Hero of London Bridge Running towards danger is such a brave deed When death was present and in a frenzy feed She knew she couldn’t leave whilst others died When terrorists attacked so cowardly without pride But death called her in her bravery made By a terrorist flashing his murderer’s blade Whilst attending the injured selflessly She died a true Australian hero the world to see As the world grieves for those lives cruelly taken In godless acts that are of terrorist making The pride of Loxton town will stand forever tall Remembered as “Kirsty Boden, Hero of London Bridge” in our proud call. © Paul Warren Poetry
