Seasons

Little tikes,

summer swims,

riding bikes,

Jumping off sofas with a towel as a cape.

***

Grown up,

summer swims,

graduated to cars,

looking at girls and flirting with the world.

I still want to be superman--can I?

***

Thought I was grown up,

material possessions,

no swimming here--way too busy.

Gotta pay for the house and car.

Get that towel off your back--it's no cape.

Superman doesn't exist.

***

The fall leaves,

seasons change--thank you God!

Thought I had it all and looked for more!

My goal was for me--who is superman?

He helped humanity when they needed him most.

I've heard of a man like that--maybe He is real.

***

Getting off my back,

I understand more.

Still growing up.

Why work for it all to give it to someone else?

I still want to be superman--can I?

To help humanity--Can I?

Will I?

***

Excuse me,

Have you seen my towel?
