Clark Kent


Sometimes I am superman
But usually just Clark Kent
Sometimes I don my tights and cape
But usually I'm content
To spend my time in suit and tie
And live with good intent

Sure it's great to fly about
And stop the falling trees
And yes it's fine to see the things
That others do not see
But really I would much prefer
To spend my time as me

I'd much prefer
For you to see
The gentle spirit
That lies in me

I'd much prefer
For you to know
The tender heart
And tears that flow

I'd much prefer
For you to feel
The flowing love
I can't conceal

I'd much prefer
You understand
The compassion
Of my hands

I'd much prefer
You could adjust
And know my words
You could trust

I'd much prefer
You could accept me as I am
For I am simply
Just Clark Kent

I have my superman moments.  I have my crisis mode.  And I have a persona that I show to the people around me.  So many times I wish that people could look beyond the "tights and cape" and see just me.  Sometimes I pray for just one person to see my heart.  Just one person to understand the depth of emotion behind my words.  Just one person to see me with all my flaws and realize I am a good person.  Just one person to believe that I speak from my heart.  Just one person to know the real me.

As I think about my desire to be accepted as I am, I have to look within and ask do I see people for who they are?  How many people in my life feel like I do?  How many people pray for that one person who understands? 

Perhaps it is time to see beyond the "tights and capes".  Perhaps it is time to look into the heart of our fellow man.
