AN ANGELIC SUPERHERO

“Not all superheroes wear capes and not all angels have wings.”

Superheroes save people’s lives, have extraordinary skills and talents, possess superhuman powers and of course, wear suits. Angels, on the other hand, are believed to be kind and selfless. It is said that they will be on your side until the very end.

An angel will help and guide you walk down the right path and not let you do bad things. And they are believed to have wings.

But the superhero and angel I know is a little different. She does everything in order for us to live. She also has these abilities she uses for daily living, she’s no superhuman but can do things beyond belief.

She’s also kind and selfless. She’ll be there for you no matter what and she’ll help you to do the things you want in a good way. But she doesn’t wear a cape nor have wings.

She’ll help you get through the sophisticated labyrinth of life. While getting through, you might get annoyed with their human power called “machine-gun type mouth” when they’re mad and lecturing you but believe me, it’s for your own good.

You’ll stumble and fall but she’ll be there right on your side to help you stand up. She’ll accept you for she knows you’ll change along the way. 

She will be your bridge to the future because she knows what’s best. You’ll meet other people and spend more time with them than you will with her but when those people leave you, she won’t. 

There will be times that you two will argue over things and decision-making. There will be obstacles and hindrances that will make her move away from you or lose you but despite of that, she’ll do her very best to keep herself near you. Problems and challenges will face you and keep you blue but she’ll be there again to put her arms around you and comfort you.

She might not be a superhero with superhuman powers nor an angel who can do miraculous things but she’ll do literally everything for you to have a perfect life for you and your family soon because that’s her mission in life. That’s the only thing that will satisfy her for it is her goal. She’s an angelic superhero and that is your mother.
