Superman
SUPERMAN
WHEN I WAS JUST A YOUNG BOY
MY DAD WAS SUPERMAN
HE WAS MY HERO,
BIGGER THAN LIFE
AND I'M HIS BIGGEST FAN
HE HAD NO FLAWS
HE WAS PERFECT
SAMSON WAS NOT AS STRONG
THE WORDS HE’D SPEAK WERE ALWAYS TRUE
HE COULD NEVER BE WRONG
I FELT I WAS SO LUCKY
AND BLESSED WITH WHAT I HAD
OF ALL THE KIDS IN THE WHOLE WORLD
SUPERMAN WAS MY DAD
AND THEN AS I GREW OLDER
HEROS WOULD COME AND GO
AS ALL OF THEIR FLAWS AND WEAKNESSES
SLOWLY BEGAN TO SHOW
YET EVEN THOUGH MY DAD IS GONE
I'M STILL HIS BIGGEST FAN
HE’S STILL A HERO, BIGGER THAN LIFE
HE IS STILL SUPERMAN
About this poem
I wrote this poem about my father after he passed away back in 2010. It's about a boy, who like most boys see their father as Super Hero's when they are young. Yet, as they grow older, they come to realize that their fathers are human beings, with human flaws and weaknesses like everyone else.
