“For my part,
I love to give myself up
to the illusion of poetry.
A hero of fiction that
never existed is just as
valuable to me as a hero
of history that existed
a thousand years ago.”

Poem:
.
the happy warrior wins the day
with his children he did play
flowers he brought for his wife
a happy home was their way of life
as a couple they knew how to share
motivated by the need to care
at church, together they prayed
the community received their aid
mankind was meant to be this way
be a peacenik, make love, not war today
do your part to be the happy warrior
race and religion, break down the barrier
be the person your God wants you to be
one who enjoys this life, carefree
