I really like this poem. You thoroughly inhabit the consciousness of a child whose generosity of spirit is free of egoism.

I don't like at all the cult of comix siperheroes - it's a perversion of the mythic heritage.. But in this poem you raised me to the empyrean with purity and delight.

Wow! I really like your response, Daniel. When I'm reading this poem in public, I do it as if I were that 4 yrs old boy. The response has been so very positive. Watch out for the video!

A 4 year old boy who knows so much and does so much with a definite purpose is a real life Superhero. Hats off to him as well as to you for bringing his acts of courage to light. Thank you, Richard.
