My Son The Superhero

This Is Dedicated To My Son....

Son..
what you didn't know...
was that before you were born...
You...
were my Superhero
Cause the 2 Prophets at
the dinner table that night
told me so...

When you were born...
I knew you had supernatural eyes
back then ...my world was full of despair
and late at night I would cry...
Yet...
You still adored me amidst
My pain & Lies
Son...
You have seen me living carelessly
A woman Lost
No Mother Or Father...

You saw me dying nightly
In the wrong mans arms..
As if I was a Martyr

Yet... besides it all
You grew with grace..
You became smarter...
Your Love for me...
Pushed me farther

You..my little Super hero
Spreading your joy and light
Son... you being born
Made me wanna change my life.

I remember conversations we would have
when you were  3
Seems like the happiest times
were when it was just you and me
Sitting on the couch eating ice cream

I guess I just want you to know
That you ...
have always been my Superhero

Even though
I know
Sometimes I let you down
On days when I should have
Been at home
Instead Of partying all over town
On the days
When My bad dreams
Made me seek solace
outside of our house
On days when you  would hear
me getting beatings
and you ...
would be quiet as a mouse

Son.. I often wonder how
your enlightenment came to be
Then I realized
You Had to learn about life
By watching your Mother's Tragedies.
Inadvertently...
I taught you what a woman
WAS NOT supposed to be
Inadvertently...
I taught you
How a Man... Was Not supposed
To treat a Lady...
To often you saw men Berate me
When they were supposed
to care and date me


Now I wonder how can this be...
How have you grown
to be so genuine & caring...

You are caring because
Our creator allowed you to be
He protected your soul
so you wouldnt get the worst of
Being raised by me

Little do you know son...
You are the reasong I have any
sanity...
At all...

You are the reason why...
I pick my self up
everytime I fall

Sometimes my love for you
spills over...
even when I don't let it show..

Son.. to me ...you will allways be
My very own Superhero...
