Always My Superhero

When I was young 

Father was my superhero

In my eyes               

He was tall and mighty

I believed he could 

Solve any problem

When the floods came               

He prevented us from drowning

When our house collapsed 

In an earthquake                   

He saved us from being crushed   

Now he is old and frail             

But he is still my superhero

For I saw 

How he conquered his disability     

After a serious stroke

As his doctors never expected

Him to walk again
