And Now, King Charles III.



Long live the King!


May 6th, 2023.

Westminster Abbey.





The Robe was heavy

Upon donning.

The Crown a thought

Upon the mind.

Leaving all commonplace behind.

It’s duty, long awaited

Commonwealth contemplated.

And in His Mother’s fine style.

Knowing when to smile.

To speak.

To pray.

To say a word

To little ones.

They never forget the Day.

The pomp and colour.

Archbishop right on cue.

The resonance a-booming.

No evil thing looming.

Truth, power,mercy, equity

Assuming.

Amen.

A helpful link.
