Supergirl Poem by Denis Martindale

Supergirl



As Krypton died, her spaceship rose,
To transport her away
And so to planet Earth it goes,
With nowhere safe to stay...
Across the void, she travels fast,
Her life still in Fate's hands,
Until there comes our Earth at last
And, thus, her spaceship lands...

She stands upon her feet again,
To breathe Earth's precious air,
Its miracle beyond her ken,
As it moves through her hair...
She eats the apples on the trees,
Drinks water from the brook...
It's her reflection that she sees!
She takes a long, long look...

You see, it's oh so beautiful,
So wondrous to behold!
Her blonde hair looks adorable,
Like wheat or shining gold...
And all at once she's floating high,
With her face full of smiles,
She's happy now, for she can fly
For miles and miles and miles!

She tests her speed, amazed to be
Much faster than a plane,
Yet Superman's the first to see
She needs his help to train...
With supervision, she does well,
My word, what she can do!
If I met her, this truth I'd tell...
Supergirl... I LOVE YOU!
