I'm No SupermanA Poem by AshtonHe does not wear a single cape Nor have any special powers Yet he carries our American Flag And allows salutes it with honors. Every night before he sleeps Or before he goes to battle He prays the Lord watch over his family Just in case the end is near And did not receive victory. He cannot fly without a plane Nor stop speeding bullets with a pinch But he can drop down out of trees And take a bullet for a man Who doesn’t even know him. His super strength comes from one And that is his almighty God And if the jobs finishes early He’ll be accepted with a nod. Who is this man? He is no Superman. He is a Soldier of the United States of America And he is doing his job Just like everyone else should do theirs. © 2011 Ashton |
