Happy Mother's Day Poem

Superheroes

I know Batman has
a really cool car.
And Spider-Man can swing on a web
like Tarzan.
But I have a better superhero than that.
I know that Wonder Woman can
deflect bullets with her bracelets.
And the Bionic Man can leap thirty feet in the air
and has superhuman speed.
But I have a better superhero than that.
I have a superhero who lifts me out of
sorrow
and rocks me in her arms.
I have a superhero who knows how much
danger I’d be in without her
and travels the heart of darkness to come
back to me.
All the other superheroes are just pretenders to
the throne
because I have the ultimate superhero,
the one with eyes in the back of her head.
She sees all and knows all.
She guards my closet door and keeps monsters
at bay.
She knits me a protective force field that
also keeps me warm at night.
She is always just where I need her to be.
Just when I need her to be.
She is the mother of all superheroes.
She is my mom.
