Diana
You're gone, but not forgotten.
Now, you live forever in the hearts
Of men and women--young and old,
Of every race and creed, far beyond
The confines of the Old Kingdom--
Denied of you by your prince--
The would-be king--a fool!
Your new kingdom (the human heart),
You'll reign as Queen, is without
Boundaries, yet more royal and regal
Than all the earth's past and present.
Every inch and every way--a lady,
Every inch you walked on, you did
Cast a giant shadow that even when
All the lights went out,
Your presence lingers and lives.
When God made you--Diana,
He broke and threw away the mold.
