Queen of Hearts

 

Our lives are overshadowed,
Our hearts are filled with grief.
This nation stands with heads bowed,
Numbed in disbelief.

The queen of hearts is dead now,
Long may her memory reign.
A great ambassador to the world,
We all now share the pain.

Her radiance brighter than any sun,
Extinguished by the cruel and greedy.
Laughter, love, compassion for everyone,
Especially the sick and needy.

This day, her radiance flickered,
Flickered and went out,
A mournful day to all
Whose hearts and souls she touched,

Goodbye, God bless, we loved you,
The people's queen of hearts.
 
 
Diana, Princess of Wales, 1961-1997
