Daughters, Three

I have three daughters,
They are beautiful, wish you could see.
I love them, more than life itself.

When they were young,

Super Hero (for Jake)

Hi, my name is Jake. You might have heard of me, I am a super hero.

You probably find it hard to believe, but it is true, just the same.

I save my sister Kylie, from disaster, at least three times a day.

I am six, and Kylie is almost one year old. That is why, she does not know,
What not to do. And she does not do, as she is told.

Yes, it is a hard job being a big brother, super hero. Kylie, needs a super hero around all the time.
So, she won’t stick her fingers, where they do not belong. I always show up in the nick of time.

I save her from disaster, time, after time, and teach her why, we say no.

Yes, I am a super hero, to Kylie, smart and wise it is true.

I wonder, when I am at school, who keeps her safe?
Is mom a super hero, too?
