Supergirl (a Mother’s Day ode)

Unmatched
Second to none
In a league of your own, with no one to oppose
The hero
In his eyes

Through the smiles and tears
You do what do best
Holding close to what you hold dear
Letting him know that all will be well
Here
In this unstable, cruel world

Warm embraces
Affirmations
Endearments
By way of words and looks
You let him know that he is loved and will be loved
To the end, until the end

In a league of your own, with no one to oppose
No equal
Uncontested, unmatched
The hero
In his eyes
Supergirl
In his eyes
