Carolyn H. Howard

She may not be Superwoman,
but she is a hero.
She may not wear the cape
or the mask,
but she is a hero.
She may not have saved lives
like Spider-man
but she did touch mines.
She may not have a statue
to be remembered by like Batman
but she did leave her mark.
She may not have been a
role model to the world
but she did change my life.
She may not be Cat Woman
helping save Gotham
but she did touch my heart.
She may not be Superman
with the lazer eyes
but she does have a smile
that can light any room,
a hug that will melt any heart,
words that can inspire
even courage the cowardly dog.
