In Memory

Its been 10 years since the loss of Diana the Princess of Wales. You may not have liked her, you may have admired her or you may not have been bothered one way or the other.


Its still a mystery as to her death, 10 years on and still not a comprehensive report, they still say it was an accident, but have failed to publish a full and final report??

The fact is she made a difference maybe not to you or me but the thousands that met her will always remember her for her kindness and understanding of the ill and infirmed.

I did admire her and was as shocked as every one else on that night of the 30th and was taken to write the following.

Ode
to
Diana Princess of Wales

Met by a few and adored by many
You will always remain in everyone’s memory

Your radiant smile that beamed like the sun
warm in nature and so full of fun.

Irrespective of culture, Nationality or creed
Your love you gave to all those in need.

In the early hours of 31st August 1997
the world was deprived of your many talents
as you were taken to heaven.

Your short life, both happy and sad
and those you touched, always glad.

The world now full of sorrow
we the people will miss you tomorrow.

Crowned the “Peoples English Rose”
our very own Queen of Hearts.
It was such a shame that this honour
was only bestowed after you had to depart.

Millions watched as you passed them by
a heavy heart and a tear in their eye,
they waited and watched along the way
to see your last journey on this mournful day
and all with one wish to say their last goodbye.
