Super Man

Super/man


It seems, like everybody needs a hero
and I'm sure, you're no different than the rest
You've found the world is full of countless zeros 
Especially when put up to the test

Now, I'm not faster than a speeding bullet
Or can I leap a building with a bound
But, when every bodies gone and has left you
I'll be the one you'll still see around

Sure, I don't look good in fancy spandex 
with a big ol' colored emblem on my chest
But when you're feeling down, no need to make a sound
I will lift you up above all the rest

Yes, it's true I don't have X-ray vision 
and my other parts are pretty common too
But find it in your heart, to let me fill the part
and give my Super Loving all to you

G'day Jerry... you're right; real super heroes are those closest to you in the right environment. Nicely written Jerry - Lindsay

Hey Jerry!! Superman just happens to be my favorite comic book hero. I really do like your exceptional tongue-in-cheek write here!! I'm quite surprised that no one else has commented. Oh Well -- Their Loss!! Your last stanza says it all my friend!! (I'll try to get by to check out more of your poems.) This one, by the way, is a "7" + "FAV" in my "Superman Book of Favorites"!! Cheers and Best Always, Gary
