Angels and Superheroes

we may not have wings
but with love
we can lift everyone
who is broken and helpless.

golden robes may not be ours
but with our words and actions
we can outshine the finest gold.

we may not have magical swords
to fight the villains,
but within us
is an ocean of light and goodness
that can overcome
the desert of darkness and evil
that tries to encroach the world.

we may not have the power
to make the sun shine always
but when the day goes dim
and the hope of men waver,
we can awaken the world
with the light in our spirit.

we may not have magical powers
and we may not be angels and superheroes,
but we could be everything
angels and superheroes should be.
