My Hero
I watch you running through the room
Always laughing, smiling, happy
You race up to me "I'm gonna get you"
Then you turn to run away and "get"
The next person you come to.
I smile slowly, feeling the tears that prickle my eyes
You, who are so small in size,but,
So large in strength
Never once has it slowed you down
Never once has it held you back.
For you, it is normal
You don't run, you gallop
You don't jump, you leap
You don't walk, you limp
When you get tired, you fall down.
Always with a smile on your face
Never with a tear or a frown.
