My Six Heroes
MacGregor was our first pet dog
a cairn terrier, a little bundle of fun
being adopted I found home strange
my pal MacGregor with me love to run
Also in my upbringing growing up
had two lovable cats Jinky and Smokey
lay on my bed bringing comfort
many a night felt safe with real support
Then Glen came along full of pace
this Collie dog loved to run for stick
I was kept fit keeping up with Glen
but his life left me far too quick
A ginger coloured cat next came
to our household which made bright
Sandy by name with full of mischief
once went to no return at night
My very favourite was a black labrador
Cora by name, so clever and strong
could hear our car a full mile away
so affectionate and loving it did belong
There you have my six heroes
all were special in their own way
from them learned many a lesson
never forgotten even to this day
(Looking back on my childhood and adolescent days on the animals we had and their effect upon my life.)
