The Many Kinds of Super

Everyone loves the super hero.

The one who saves the day?

Beyond human powers

To look up to

Idolize

Adore

Every power

Takes time

Nurturing

Growth

I wish I were super

To be a knight

Polished, shining armor

Or a hero

Even with the spangles

And the underwear

The thing about heroes

They have challenges too

But on a different level-

Anything is possible

I wish to save myself

Strength

Love

Trust

Human qualities

In great quantities

Are super

Emotional

Or physical

Muscles

Each takes work

And perseverance

For strength

If I get muscles

Or powers

What might I do?

The choice would be

For me or for you?
