Hero

My ex-ray eyes 
 for you helped me see what I couldn't,
my superhero strength
 for you give me reason to get up,
my ability to fly
 for you showed me how to take flight,
my want to fight evil doings,
 for knowing you... there is hope,
the superhero suit I wear
 for you give me reason to stand tall,
the symbol on my chest 
 for it was you to bring forth my heart,
a hero I thought I could never be
 for you brought out the best in me.
