Early Influences In Life
Born in late '53 post Christmas
adopted was I being six weeks old
my new parents lived way out country
enjoyed these formative times like gold
Early on discovered I had stammer
but mother especially showed real care
made my little bedroom my cocoon
living out so free was myself there
We had little cairn terrier McGregor
he was real friendly to take a walk
couple of cats too Jinky and Smokey
slept bottom of bed heard any knock
Mum taught me great Bible stories
sewing the seed way back then
that in future years did bear fruit
always my fav reads loved to open
These years were so memorable
many happy times to look upon
without them where now would I be
don't know but still be Gordon
