A Pretentious Superhero
A Pretentious Superhero
By: Mr. N.E.B.
When you caress my head and in
sleep I pretend.
You were so happy in those
times we spend.
When we have nothing but
there’s something you bring,
Were the moments when I knew
you will give everything.
You hide your pain and you
smile like nothing happens.
You smile so sweetly, but you’re
burning inside every day.
You are perfect outside, but
I can tell what you are inside.
You’re vulnerable but you
are such a good actor.
I could not fathom the love
you carry,
In times of trouble, there’s
always a way.
You make that possible 'cause that’s
what you are.
You never give up even until
you get a scar.
You may not have a robe to
be called a hero,
But you defeated the difficult
life as a foe.
You may not have glittering
suit and armor,
But your love is enough, but
you give a lot more.
My love for you may not compare
to what you give,
But I will die for you if
that’s what it takes.
I know you’re hurt, and I
know you’re bruised,
Don’t hide it, try, and
please cry.
Please know that your son feels
you.
I would do anything to console
you,
I will never turn my back on
you,
Because I will always love
you.
My papa, my love, and my
superhero!
