Who Are Your Heroes? Poem by Tom Billsborough

Who Are Your Heroes?

Rating: 5.0


Who are your heroes of yesterday?
Mine are mostly of my youth,
And some before. Take Babe Ruth.
Died when I was three and yet
The Sultan of Swat
Is a name I shall never forget.
And then there is Elvis
Who gave such joy
When I heard his rendition
Of the song "Danny Boy".
Ali, of course, adored over here,
Bright with a wink, cool with a stare.
And then there is Bradman,
King of the bat,
You lads from down under
Will know where I'm at!
So who are your heroes?
I would love to know.
Go on you members
Give it a go!

Why not write one about your heroes, Kumarmani. I'd love to read about them. Let me know if you do.
