Superhuman Child

I was in hospital watching As the good doctors were saving Jumping and shouting: that's my bone marrow So I could see my brothers tomorrow I saved baby Gio Because I love him so And I saved baby Santino Because I'm a superhero I saved you guys so you could be With mommy daddy hero me No big deal 'cause I'm a superhero And we didn't want to be in such sorrow Giggle juice put me in deep sleep And nurse said so I wouldn't weep I saw Batman and Spiderman Superman turned me into man I was flying so very high With Captain America in sky I wore Batman's mask and cape To fight bad guys in good shape Mommy now ties balloon to me So I could fly and feel free I like to be free like good guys Not go to jail like bad guy POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM A 4 years old Philadelphia boy is indeed a SUPERHERO. He saved the lives of his 7 months old twin brothers by giving them his bone marrow. I was so deeply moved by this story that I wrote this poem. Additionally, I will have a friend draw his superheroes and frame them with this poem. I shall send it as a gift to him which will serve as a reminder to him of his love and courage.
