Superhero

My muscles ripple
Under tight red shirt
As I saved the cripple
Lying in the dirt

My eagle vision sees all
My ears all to hear
Everyone seems so small
From way way up here

My powers are stupendous
My might so very strong
My impact quote horrendous
Arm of justice very long

And as I touch the small hands
And take him into flight
Over green hills and lands
He dips just like a kite

As he looks into my laser eye
He sees his superhero fly
With him far above the sky
Forever there, forever high

And I the superhero dad
Think of the grandest times we had
When those small eyes looked up to me
To defeat all bad 
And to set him free
