"Superheroes" 

by Rachel Gessey

As night time fell and it was time to sleep,

She was tucked up in bed, not making a peep,

After a bath and a story, milk and a kiss,

Her adventures in dreamland she didn't want to miss!

On with the first boot, then with the other,

She smiled at her mummy and pulled up the covers,

For Jaime was a special girl who wore boots and a bar,

So she could jump really high and run really far,

So she could hop and skip and dance all day

And be a "superhero in my dreams" she would say.

A superhero? I hear you shout

What's this superhero business about?

You see, every night when she closed her eyes,

She'd dream that her boots made her fly through the skies,

She'd surf on the water and ski on the snow,

And fly higher and higher - to space she would go!!

She'd see mountains and rivers, deserts and trees,

Fly with birds and aeroplanes over the seas....

And as morning approached and she'd stir in her bed,

She'd remember her dreams and what her mummy always said.

"That special girls and boys who wear bedtime shoes

Will grow up big and strong and be whatever they choose..."

So to all you "superheroes" who wear their boots at night,

You are amazing and fantastic, oh and super, that's right!
