I studied and watched you when I was a kid.
I knew you were special in all that you did.
You handled the problems that came, day by day;
Your brilliance came out in what you would say.
It defied understanding, I thought, every night,
Till one day I saw, and was amazed by the sight.
I finally knew what I was missing before:
You were hanging your cape on a hidden door.
You’re the very best man I ever knew;
I hope to be a super person like you.
