Yes, Supergirl, I Love You! Poem by Denis Martindale

As Supergirl, you fly the skies, through super strength and more,
You send heat vision from your eyes each time you go to war.
With super friends at either side, in battle to the end,
Yet humble still, not full of pride, this planet to defend.
You're like an angel without wings, of that there can't be doubt,
But who knows what your future brings, as you sort villains out?
Born on a planet far away, where parents showed their love,
With such good guidance to obey, because it proved enough.
And here am I, more than a fan, for I'm in love with you,
I'm not as strong as Superman and yet my love stays true.
So true, in fact, I pray each night, that God will keep you safe,
Assisting you to do what's right and not just to be brave.
For wisdom, to prepare your thoughts, as you decide what's best,
For insights, when you make reports, regardless of each quest,
For secrets, that must be revealed, to no-one else on Earth,
For mercy's sake, as if a shield, for life's a learning curve.
Each day a friend becomes a foe, betraying all your trust,
Each day you act on what you know, on what each has discussed.
You can't read minds, you can't read mine, though I stand close nearby.
I wish you were my Valentine, yet unloved here I sigh,
But you deserve the best there is, not some guy such as me,
Yet how I yearn for your kind kiss… to set this chained heart free…
