When Victory Is Your Sign…
I met Nike in ‘23
The goddess of Victory, the swish with wings
in Turkey
I chose the phoenix in ‘24
For a two score celebration of life
Of rising from ashes and overcoming strife
Fire red and burning blue were the hues I felt were due
Then came the boat in Halong Bay
Victory was its name, a fine place to stay
‘Twas 25’ and it heralded great upheaval untold
The start of many hurdles that began to unfold
Yet victorious was I as I battled on with grit
And in 26’ I chose the ship HMS Victory to build and fit
Yet, again I have found this year to be signalling more
The year of the horse – a fiery omen of yore
Victory is its sign, as it blazes across the shore
And now I know that ’84 was the year of the Victory tour
Of musical genius MJ and his bros
And so victorious I shall continue
For the signs are many and the paths are clearing
For those who dare to dream and want steering
For the light is strong and the night won’t fill
That spirit and fire which victory instills
