Police - The 61 Sacred Poem by Paul Warren

Doing their duty they still proudly stand
Wearing their blue in glory forever grand
They are the 61 Sacred who gave their life
For South Australians in answer to other's strife
I can still feel them when I'm standing my ground
Each cementing us together for our duty bound

Don't forget them as they are etched in stone
Dying this way will mean they need never be alone
I think of the ones that I have in life known
Those murdered or lost in other ways so prone
Keep them close by for what they have done
Straight in the knowledge it can't ever be undone
