If only I could have taken a photo this evening
of the little boy (who was between three and four years old,)
galloping around the village fountain
in only bright yellow underwear and a homemade cape attached with a red ribbon tied around his neck.
His smile was megawatt, his eyes glowing with glee as he raised both arms in the air leaping towards outer planets and fighting off evil!
When we walked by he posed with his arms on his hips as his cape folded around his feet and exclaimed in a triumphant cheer,
"I am all the superheroes in one!"
I saluted him.
As I walked on I thought I want Gabriel to believe that he too
can be all the superheroes at once.
A few steps further I wished we could all believe we are superheroes.
