My Hero

Professor Howard is his name

A very special person is he,

A gifted man in many ways

A saviour, in the case of me.

As a newborn baby my life was threatened

So then I was transferred to hospital

T’was the Kings College in London

I was put in their care for a while.

At the age of seven weeks

I was given a life-saving op

It was performed by this special man

Telling Mum and Dad not to give up.

He carried out another op

Thank G-d both going down well

From then on I was kept in

For five to six months, till they could tell.

Was I going to pull through?

The fight was long and tough

But worse for my parents I’m sure

Not knowing if my strength was enough.

Eighteen years on thank G-d

I’m well and living happily

It’s all been thanks to Prof. Howard

He put life back into me.

My thanks to him is eternal

And words could not express

What he’s done for hundreds of people

Although for me I think he did best.
