A tribute to Late DIG Camillus Abeygoonewardena



The officer & the gentleman 
Who shined in Sri Lankan police
One of the smartest in uniform 
To adorn that high ranking office
Through his skill & ability
    brought honour to his office  
With Honesty and integrity 
He served with rejoice

Commencing his career 
In the upcountry range
In traffic & road safety
    soon he gained a name 
Many national events
in international frame
He skillfully handled with
honour and fame 

Being one of the assignments
in his illustrious career
He was privileged to serve 
In the VIP frontier 
In those challenging times
Without any fear or favour
He Served president JRJ
With promptness and cheer

Another milestone 
In his colourful  career 
Was being appointed
to lead the northern frontier
During the height of the war
that was becoming severe
He showed his mettle 
Without any iota of fear
 
Humaneness was in his heart
    all the time 
Every one he treated with kindness
and a smile
Whilst he had friends from many walks   
of life
Never lost the common touch
with his unassuming style

To his  family and friends
He was a pillar of strength 
reputation & respect 
was his much earned wealth 
To many in distress 
he did Support in stealth 
His greatness will remain
Our hearts as an epitome of strength..!
