Conqueror
You wore the mark of a modern day conqueror
Born with a strength seemingly undaunted
You jumped obstacles with athletic agility
Stood fast in the midst of each storm
Channeled passion with a gentle touch
Nurtured those you loved with the utmost care
Your roots were like that of a sturdy oak tree
Anchored as the ship you thought would come in
At times I thought you were invincible
Until the day when I was reminded
That you were only human
As are we all

What beautiful words !!!...Gosh...I totally love this one Darlene !!!
I really love this one.
I read this poem three times to get the sense of it. At first, it made me think of William the Conqueror, until I read it two more times. Good job, Darlene. I love the photo. It reminded me of castles from home.
