Alexander the Great
Julius Caesar
Genghis Khan
Napoleon Bonaparte
valiant conquerors all
in history’s annals they stand tall
Yet while the back story
may lack fame and glory
it’s not to be ignored…
At home, the ‘little woman’ rules the roost
So, don’t forget, ‘heroes of today’ ~
to thank the lady by whom you were produced

In this land of if only, I'd only have myself to reckon with
no real or imaginary people to fight with or have a tiff
In a world of seize and conquer I would feel no loss
I'd ride the ocean winds like an ancient Albatross
In a world of make believe I'd be Queen of fairies
grinding my worries away , I'd then pick berries
in a forest full of bears, tigers and wolves, I'd be
a minx with great stealth, I'd never want to flee
In a planet where stars moon and sun can be touched
I would make plans for a future that can't be botched
In a society that badges truth, compassion, empathy
I'd be happy as a lark in the sky, songful and free
In this land of if only, I'd be a wish that never dies ,
joining forces with all the conquerors of the skies.

To the winner, the medal
never full glory...
To the conqueror, the spoils
never hearts and souls...!
Winners and Conquerors,
they are human...not olympics ,
nor August ...!
they will never be Gods!

I look forward into the light with a new hope
Knowing the darkness behind with which I had to cope
Seeing the war of fear which we always fought
Learning the lessons of faith with which you taught
With you by my side I shall never fall
In the end love always conquerors all
Shadows of pain tried to take you away
Now they have been defeated to bring a new day
The gray cloud of lies tried to smother me
But the sun of truth set us both free
With you by my side I shall never fall
In the end love always conquerors all
There demonic numbers of evil surly were great
But it was no match for our passion and we killed hate
Their minds were devious and devilishly clever
But nothing could stop our souls bond that we have eternally forever
With you by my side I shall never fall
In the end love always conquerors all
