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.
