My Mom is My Hero
Cap and cape, she wears none,
yet her feats, daily done.
In her eyes, galaxies spin,
worlds of wisdom, deep within.
Her laughter, a fortress high,
shields me when tears are nigh.
Hands, though gentle, fiercely guard,
each scar a story, each line hard-earned.
She fights battles, not with swords,
but with words, kind and sure.
At day’s end, when shadows creep,
her hug's a haven, vast and deep.
No need for masks, or skies to roam,
my hero’s here—my mom, my home.
