Superhero

You are my superhero, the one I look up to for strength. When I was growing up I always wanted to be just like you. You were invincible to me, nothing could ever hurt you. I couldn't wait to grow up to be like you because I thought you never felt pain. I always thought you would live forever.

But now you are older and so am I. I can finally see the pain you are in. I notice the limp you walk with and how stiff your joints get. Yesterday you got a nose bleed and that really made it sink in. It wasn't a bad nose bleed but I saw that you aren't invincible, that you are human. What scared me the most was seeing the fear in your eyes. I have never seen that before. I have never seen you scared or cry, but yesterday for the first time I saw that you didn't feel like you were invincible.

You have always been there for me whenever I needed you. You have always been the rock I could climb onto for safety when the world came crashing in on me. Whenever I am in trouble I can turn to you and know that you will help me out. You let me know that everything will be alright. I have never thought about you not being there. In my mind you will live forever but now as you get older I know that the time is nearing that you will no longer be there when I need you. I don't know what I will do when that day comes.........

I love you and I know I never tell it to you but no matter how weak and frail you may get you will always be my superhero.
