Inspiration

He is a mediocre person,
In a world swarming with people,
Yet still everything she aspires to be,

She reminisces of the one who taught her to ride a bike,
And left the light on so the boogey-monster wouldn’t get her,
Now he lays out the foundation for her future,

Indeed, a role-model since childhood,
And her own super-hero today,
She wonders if he knows,

He has cherished the unforgettable moments,
And overcome the ones he could have gone without,
Still, he remains unsatisfied,

She couldn’t be any more proud of him,
He has taught her many life lessons,
Though none as important as the ones that have gone unspoken,

He is many things,
Her hero, her role-model, her everything,
Her inspiration
