The Invisible Hero

I am the invisible hero, the one they cannot beat

Donning breeches and doublet we join forces

to stand as the kings cavaliers, we will drive

Bonnie Prince back to the Scots after just three hours

I am the invisible hero, the one kids avoid

skulking into mischief around the pool

they sink to the depths till they run out of breath

Then I dive in and bring them back from danger

I am the invisible hero, the one they did not need

they changed the rules, tried to make us look fools

Said they did not need me any longer, no pay

That cut like a knife, no for them reason for strife

I am the invisible hero, who helps others to draw

With charcoal and brown paper, feathers and leather

I show others how easy it is to create a scene

It's so peaceful to scribe and bring memories back to life

I am the invisible hero, who got dealt a bitter stroke

A surprise I'll tell you, slowed me down, made me weak

Took me on a journey, I did not want to complete

But I battled that devil, I wont accept his defeat

I am the invisible hero, I don't make much noise

Sat in the corner, talking to friends, sketching away

But when you need a friend to fight alongside

I'll spring straight into action and help save the day

For my hero and very dear friend Dave Morley
