Listen to poem:
Dads
He will never save the world from alien invasion
Win a medal for outstanding bravery
Play a sport for his nation
Save a child from a burning building.
But what he really wants to be his child’s super hero.
Fly a spitfire in a battle
Climb the highest mountain
Sail the high seas as a pirate
Pull a body from a burning building.
He craves to be his child’s super hero.
Ride a race horse in the grand national
Swim the English channel
Or run the London marathon
Defend your honour in bare knuckle boxing.
If that would make him, is child’s super hero
But he is just a dad who works in a factory
No claim to fame or acts of bravery
No bulging wallet, adoring crowds
No friends who are super stars.
But he will do his best to be his childs super hero
as he is his dad
