Superheroes

A childhood dream - see them and feel, My superheroes, thought they were real: Superman, the man of steel Batman on his wheels Spider-man on his tightest suit The oversize body of Incredible Hulk. With He-man's masculinity I dreamed I was her leading lady; The X-men had added to my illusion - Be among the students of the professor: Wolverine, my deepest crush Cyclops eyes' made me blushed Gambit, simply the best Beast, to add on the list. Now I'm fully grown up and realization has come, That superheroes are just artificial I've known people never thought I'd met The real heroes of my life, not to forget.

Wow just loved this one. I wonder how many times have told my little brother that there's no such thing as "spider man". Great job:) Love, Chitra
