My Superhero

I have a little rescuer

He is five-years old today

He helps me in so many ways

Almost each and every day

He rescues me in the store

When it’s an extra penny I need

When I am making a loaf of bread,

His little hands will knead

He helps his baby sister

When she needs help with her coat

He builds her houses and garages

And lets her play with his boat

When it was raining hard one day

My hero had to climb

Into the back of the wagon

Our umbrellas he had to find

That darn vacuum cleaner!

I can’t get it apart

What’s wrong with the CD player?

I can’t get it to start

In comes my little fix-it guy

He knows so very much

Just like his dad in fixing things

He has a mechanic’s touch

Most of all, my little guy

With a bright and happy smile

Rescues me on my worst days

And makes my life worthwhile
