My Heroes And Heroines Poem by Francis Duggan

Broadminded in thinking and in their ways nothing small
My heroes and heroines believe on a fair go for all
Though not among the celebrated on their side of the town
You never do hear them put anyone down
To help those in need of helping they go out of their way
And they perform their good deed or two every day
Yet few of them even know of local fame
Though to compassion and kindness they give a good name
My heroes and heroines are free of deceit
Helpful and unassuming and untainted by conceit
They side with the people who are battling the odds
The poor and forsaken of the lesser gods
With my opinions on heroes and heroines you do not agree
But you look at life every different to me.
