ELIZABETH  70  YEARS OUR  QUEEN

 

You were only a young wife and Mother

when you became our Queen

That's when you lost your beloved Father

how hard that must have been

 

Duty became your destiny and way of life

to which you were never born

But you have never faltered and proudly

kept the vows you'd sworn

 

To serve the people of our great country

and it's commonwealth too

Following in your father’s footsteps

how proud he would be of you

 

And as the years unfolded you have

time and time again

Proved to us and to the whole world

how great has been your reign

 

Yes for 70 years as our Monarch you

have always stayed faithful and true

And I know of nobody in this land who

has worked harder than you

 

You make me very proud to be British and

so in gratitude I would like to say

Thank you Queen Elizabeth for each one

of your 70 years reign today.

A KING IN WAITING

 

Although a King in waiting you may well be

You're also a man with foresight who could see

 

You've spoken out clearly and told us how you feel

Yes, way long before it became a big deal

 

To talk about climate change and try to relay

What changes we all must make in our lives today

 

Although many viewed with scorn when you forecast

One day we'd regret how we lived in the past...

 

You've warned us many times over since 2012

What we must do to save our world and ourselves

 

You have spoken out and broadcast loud and clear

What you felt about climate change and your fears

 

Of the kind of world, we would be leaving behind

For the children of today and future mankind

 

So albeit a King in waiting now you've certainly

Proved that you will be fit for the job eventually.

A Queen's Passing

 

So many tears have been shed both

openly and unseen

Since the news was broadcast that

we had lost our Queen

 

I was a young girl in my teens on the

day of her coronation

But I can still clearly remember

the joyous celebrations

 

She showed the whole world exactly

what a great Monarch should be

As she served our country with

such grace and dignity

 

For seventy years she did her

duty steadfastly and true

And was due nothing less than

the homage paid to her that's true

 

As crowds watched in silence as they drove

her from the home she loved the best

It was her people's way of saying "thank 

you Ma'am" now be at peace and rest.

MAJESTIC  DESTINY

 

Although you are not a king

in waiting any more

I know there is one thing of

which I am very sure

 

You would exchange your crown 

and all the swans you now own

To have your dear Mama back

sitting upon the throne

 

However that as you know

is not a possibility

She's left you with the knowledge

of how to reign with dignity

 

You will I am sure follow her example

and thus bring to your reign

All the things that will be needed to

help make this country great again

 

And with the love and support of

the woman who has always been

With you in your heart and can now

truly be your Queen.
