Growing up i watched a plethora of superheroes,

And i was in awe at all of them,

Wonderwoman with her whip,

Spiderman with his webs,

Superman with his flight,

Not to forget the ethereal mermaids.

 

With everyday that passed,

I hoped and anticipated,

Prayed, yearned and cried,

that, I too, might be blessed with a superpower-

Something that would make me unique

and have others stare in envy.

Something that would inspire the world

and have me live with a sense of security

Oh, how I prayed and hoped!

 

With every new dawn,

I diligently checked

to see if by some miracle I had woken up with one.

After all, I was told of this big God, 

who listened to His children and performed miracles.

Maybe flight, maybe strength

I wasn't picky really.

 

But alas, to my deep dismay, I had none,

Atleast that's what I believed.

 

Little did I know,

Knowing you was my superpower

For with knowing you, I knew hope

and with knowing you, I knew love.

 

So now I sit in comfort and contentment

with the assurance that I can overcome and conquer,

for love conquers all

and love never fails.
