Super Man Isn’t for real with one quick move he had me up in the air laughing and playing without a care, tough as nails. Strong as steel he was like Superman but he was real. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. When he tossed me up I really flew, wherever he went I did also go. I was his little shadow. I did tell on him, when he’d talk bad “Momma! Daddy said damm!” and she’d get mad but Superman isn’t for real. There is no man of steel. Soon pain and age comes to us all and even a child’s hero will someday fall. To my Daddy written by Cheryl
