Dads

Listen to poem:
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
