The Cape
He trusted in his instincts,
never did as he was told,
always knowing he would make it,
he was garrulous and bold.
He listened to the wind
and took direction from the stars,
he always knew that he could fly,
the question was, how high?
Trusting in the ragged cape
forever fastened to his back,
like Superman he saved the world
his courage never lacking.
People said he's foolish,
always acting like a kid,
he did not know he could not fly
and so one day he did.
He's one of those who knows that life
is just a leap of faith,
spread your arms and hold your breath
and always trust your cape.
