HERO: For every Superwoman

Hero: A person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

Because she is my Hero!

Dedicated to all Heroes.

 
Calm there she laid
 As my gracious entrance was made
 Those few seconds felt like rage
 But my coming gave her grace.
 She gave me a shot at childhood
 I gave her a shot at motherhood
 All the troubles I gave in the neighborhood
 But she never left my hood
 Because she is my Hero.

 She made sure I went to school
 And gave me a second schooling
 Literacy in the world
 Literacy in my world.
 Because she is my Hero.

 Up she stayed and wondered
 Through my fierce nights of hunger
 Up she stayed in pain
 Through my awful nights of pain
 Because she is my Hero

 Great things she has to tell me
 Caution she has to give me
 Impeccable manners she has to teach me
 Through right paths she always leads me
 Because she is my Hero.

 Not for a moment was I a burden
 To her I am always her little maiden
 Brought up to rest in Eden
 Bootstrapped on my way to heaven
 Because she is my Hero

 Then the time came for me to be bigger
 Sad she was but I could not linger
 She wanted me for longer
 But Hero hood called for me yonder
 Because she is my Hero.
