Crystal Brook Heroes Poem by Paul Warren

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.
