I'M NO SUPER HERO


I’M NO SUPER HERO


I’m not Superman but be on alert.
I’m not Superman but I have a big S on my shirt.
I’m not Spiderman but I achieved this tasked.
I’m not Spiderman but I took his mask.

I’m no super hero; I’m just a man, just a dad.
I’m no one special, not too good and not too bad.
Sometimes there are things I don’t understand, things that make me sad.
Sometimes I see things that make me very mad.

I’m not Batman but you may want to escape.
I’m not Batman but I took away his cape.
I’m not Captain America with the red white and blue to wield.
I’m not Captain America but when push came to shove, I walked away with his shield.

There are times when life gets me down and on my cheek you might see a tear.
I try to go through life at an even speed, but when I need to I can kick it up a gear.
Some think love is a weakness but there’s something you should hear.
 Look at my face, look deep into my eyes and you will see no fear.

I’m not The Incredible Hulk, I don’t get large and I don’t turn green.
I’m not The Incredible Hulk but if you get me angry I will get mean.
I’m not Ironman with a suit of armor on my back.
I’m not Ironman but I reached in his chest and pulled out his power pack.

I have no super powers of speed, flying, or sight.
I’m no super hero but I’ve always fought for what was right.
I’m no super hero but I’ve been around the block a time or two.
When I go after something, I don’t stop till I’m through.

I’m not Daredevil and I won’t keep you in suspense.
I’m not Daredevil but I cloned his special sense.
I’m not The Thing made of stone with a smile that’s cold.
I’m not The Thing but like him I have a heart of gold.

I’m no super hero, I’m no Robin Hood.
I try to do what’s right; I try to do some good.
I’m no super hero, I deserve no credit and I want to blame.
I’m no super hero, but they all know my name.
