Thank You, Your Majesty!
The flag went half-mast at Buckingham Palace Our most gracious Queen Elizabeth the second has goneA rainbow appeared above the palace skyAlthough I have left I will always shine upon you I was shocked and a deep sadness felt in my heartI stood in front of the tv unable to moveOh no! The queen has goneI thought she would pull through The Queen was not only our MonarchShe was the matriarch of our landA rock upon Britain was builtKnowledge and wisdom she possessed The late queen had a fun side to herOn an elephant and up a tree house in AfricaOn a helicopter with 007 parachuting to open the gamesTea with Paddington and marmalade sandwich in her bag I first had a glimpse of the queen during her silver jubileeBut I have met the queen in old Ceylon long beforeMy dad went to see her with mum pregnant with meMum got lost but was found shaking hands with queen Elizabethan era has ended but her legacy lives onShe kept the country together during challenging timesAt ninety six her body was frail but her mind was sharpHer judgements were never clouded by personal loss She has passed the torch to her son King Charles the thirdHe understood her sense of duty would follow her footstepsIn a rainbow during the day and a twinkling star at nightIn sadness and turbulent times faith and hope for better days
