Supermen

She looks at me in anger, wonders why I am here. Minutes pass by.
And suddenly she comes closer, sticks a little fist in the air and says:
Superman
We smile. It is our pact.

Later we will go. 2 supermen in 2 blue jackets.
She in my arms, her arms around me.
And when we are playing Little chaser on a square, a thought circles up:
I love her. I love this little supergirl that made my day, by just existing.

The truth of a child is simple: I love you, you love me, I hate you, you love me.

One day later, well drop her in school. Her hand still in mine.
And when we go, we stick fists to each other. Superman!
Who is Superman?, somebody asks.
Ine, she answers. I have to smile. Never teached her that.
I look when she enters the class. Like a little princess.

One day, this little supergirl will break a lot of hearts.
Last night she glued mine.
