Superlove! By Denis Martindale Poem by Denis Martindale

Every single time I support charities like Oxfam,

I am Superman, Batman, Spider-Man,

I am the Justice League and the X-Men,

I am the Fantastic Four, I am He-Man, I am Thor.

I am a hero and I'll always be a hero,

While there's that last penny or dime,

While there's my hand opening my wallet,

While I am using my credit card, donating online,

While I am praying for more than my share,

Just so I can share with others in dire need...


I can be a hero when I am Clark Kent, or as Bruce Wayne,

Or as Peter Parker, or even as Denis Martindale.

I don't have to fly through the air,

I don't need a costume or a cape,

I don't need a secret identity!

I only have one superpower, it's all I need,

Because, with this, I can change the world...

It is comprised of three elements,

Just as the Bible says, Faith, hope and love...

And the greatest of these is love...
