Ode to Mama

In a time,

when men were the superheroes,

born in an unconventional location,

 

a young girl, unknown to the future

she was destined to,

was born with a uniqueness

unfound in all people, a superpower

of empathy

and as she grew,

 

the world knew

she was imbued

as a living embodiment of legends:

 

Athena's wisdom,

beauty that surpassed the goddess Aphrodite,

conversational skills that made Hermes envious,

and strength that Hercules

could never attain.

 

As she approached an age, when her parents would

trust her to be guardian,

her powers manifested.

This incredible child was now a woman.

 

With the ability to heal those in need: she could expunge

poison that had afflicted a person,

even their hearts,

a God-given gift for those most sacred;

her correspondences exponentially developed,

able to connect in all languages, fueled by her empathetic nature,

this allowed all who interacted with her to trust her for she radiates sincerity.

 

Now, fully grown, this super-no-

 

This Wonder Woman had retired her duties

to save the world, not forsake it, but,

to train Wonder Girl, her daughter,

to unlock the latent abilities her mother had passed on to her.

 

She still looks up at the Higher Power

and realizes her duty to provide

the world justice is not over

but only beginning.

 

Her holy spirit was not unacknowledged

and was gifted

a bulletproof bracelet,

forged by the most skilled craftsman by direction

of all that is wise and healing.

 

Given to her to wear

so that nothing could halt her

as she continues

her fate to provide the world a humanity

that could only come from

an intrinsically true

dear heart.
