Superman Has Left Home

There once was a superman child
He lived in his costume when not in school
When Halloween came he collected candy a plenty
Pictures were taken of superman and his candy pile
So happy he was to be with mom and dad, so happy

Through the years there were other Halloweens
There were other costumes and piles of candy
And there were pictures
But superman remained his favorite costume
And still so happy he was to be with mom and dad, so happy

More Halloweens came and went
The child grew up and became a big kid
Still trick-or-treating but not with mom and dad
No more pictures of candy stashes
Became more happy hanging out with friends, so happy

Still later in life no more superman child or man
Son, mom, and dad not so happy
Hard times came and went
Superman child gone for good
Mom and dad not so happy, not so happy

Superman has left home these many years past
Though living a continent away, still close to their hearts
Proud of his sobriety and steps toward independence
Continually prayed for, God is close at hand
Maybe superman can live again and be happy, so happy
