His Name is Not Superman

   He jumps into his pants
     gulps down an espresso 
   Fairly flies out the door
     caught up in the flow  

  Sprints to the corner
     squeezes onto the bus
  His name is not ‘Superman’
     ~ He’s just one of us

Awe! Love this! Reminding us of our everyday heroes. My mom convinced my siblings and I when we were little, that she was a superhero named, Fabulation!!! So cute huh? She didn't need to do that, for we all agree she truly was a hero to us. She passed from complications from a brain tumor in our teen years. Thanks for bringing that memory back!

Life has become so fast and for what, it leaves us no time to do anything that we love doing like my poetry for instance. Great and clever thought for a poem. Hugs and blessings Jennifer
