The queen of queens
I praise you,
I respect you,
You always go the extra mile
I'm glad to have you in my life.
You have a heart of gold
I admire your kindness
If I could I would kiss you all night,
And treat like my princess.
I need you in my life,
I want you in my life,
Cause you’re not just a woman,
You’re my superwoman.
Every ray of sunlight is a reflection of you
Blossoming into joy’s of laughter all day through
Every smile that you reflect is concealed with a tear,
Making it special for everyone so near
Every sacrifice that you make,
Brings out the love inside you
Making the world of a difference
to be honest and true
Every success that is written,
Is the foundation from you
Coz you are the woman
The woman so true
The woman with power
The superwoman is you
- Sherwin Fernandes
The world will know your power
Through me see your desire
Every hour you I shall honour
Shine like the sun star in your empire
I am the hunter you are my scout
I give to you servitude without a doubt
Nothing less than both my hands
My devotion, my knees in the sand
The world will see your mercy
In all that you do your glory
I shine in your presence like a tiara
A worthy crown for you my saviour
I was lost forever a wonderer
Until the day I met my rescuer
My one chance it maybe to show
Fulfil the life the love you bestow
My eternal gratitude is a small measure
For in you I’ve found real treasure
Life’s purer I’m richer and wiser
My Superwoman my superhero
All that you do amazes me
How you do it so willingly so beautifully
And gracefully nightly and daily
A mother a lover a daughter so passionately
Superwoman
Some people ask me?
How do you love a woman?
And be with her not?
I tell them.
She is busy saving the world;
Smile and walk off.
Some people ask me?
To whom, do you lay your heart wit?
I tell them.
My Angel
For she is not far by.
Some people ask me?
How do you have faith?
In such a woman to come back
I tell them.
Heaven is its creation,
An as long as I endure through!
She will save me.
For she is the gate keeper of my heart;
Where I entrust my most prize treasure;
And as I gaze into her beautiful eyes
I tell them.
She was always here!!!
I flew through the mall
Wore Superman’s cape and suit
It was Christmas time
With ease, my shopping complete
The woman of steel prevailed
For Michael Falotico’s Tanka me a Dream contest
By Diane Locksley
I'm sitting here again,
Just waiting for a call
So I can put on my suit
And help someone get up from their fall.
It's not an easy job,
This whole Superwoman thing.
Flying through the sky,
Moving at lightening speed.
As I sit here waiting,
I'm contemplating
Whether or not I should do something,
Because this is getting boring.
The music is on its sixth rotation.
I had every word memorized after the second,
But I know as soon as I start something,
Of course, I'll hear the ring.
It never fails.
When it finally does ring,
I put the "S" on my chest.
I'm there in two seconds
Helping clean someone's mess.
Broken lives and tattered dreams,
This is my reality.
Broken hearts. So many tears
I've wiped from eyes for all these years.
The children are the hardest to behold.
How do I save them from shattered homes?
The "S" on my chest is only a sign.
I'm not God. I can't go back in time.
I can't change the lives given to them.
I'm just here to help their little hearts mend.
When my job is done,
I head back home,
Take the "S" off my chest,
And lay down to rest.
Until the next time I get a call
And put my "S" back on to save someone from their fall.
