Superman
Superman
That’s what I want to be today
flying up in my underoos
up
up
and
away

cape flinging back and forth as I stretch over the horizon looking for all that is unjust in this land
I can snap bad guys like rubber bands
Hoping my Lady Lois is near for she will never have anything to fear

Jimmy Olsen sounds out a signal screaming for help as the freckled red head does so well
somebody is trying to knock his bell

The newspaper boy calls out real loud "get your paper! Superman saves the world again!"

I have such strength and power in my hands I could rule any time I want But Ma and Pa taught me better
and I would never do such for I am Clark Kent and raised to do so much for the common man

Truth, Justice, the American way
For today I am Superman
and kryptonite will not get in my way
Up
Up
and
Away

(smiles) And you don't have to wear a cape, leap tall buildings in a single bound or run faster than a speeding bullet to be a hero, you just have to be yourself and give unto others as they give unto you and follow the Golden Rule and you truly are Superman! (big hugggssssss) This is marvelous, sweet friend, you have my marvelling vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Thomas, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I'm a lover of Superman--and this poem! I loved the energy and the innocence of it.
I actually posted my own poem on Superman--"If Superman..." in Open #22. Great minds think alike!

Totally enjoyed your flight of fantasy!

Peace & Light,
Earth Angel

Thomas, I have felt this way many times. I just don't think I could have done a great a job of expressing it to the masses.
This has my vote.
