The Lonely Life Briton Riviere

Being a queen is not so great always under the spotlight never a moment to relax so many people fawning Ah, but few who are real friends most just after what they can get the lonely life is what I lead as I tend to state duty's My life is like a fish bowl I am always on display yet I must smile and wave to my subjects as I pass Bed is the only time to myself there only can I take repose shut out my kingdom for now then back to sit on my lonely throne From there I can see my portrait painted by the great Briton Riviere depicted in front of my ladies in waiting I sit suffering , as I rule in loneliness contest: Briton Riviere written 06/19/2013

Bittersweet assignment for the Queen... or as it relates to me, for any one called to commit for a higher duty. Selfless. This reader had a vivid glimpse of what it is like behind the scene of grandiose and Royalty. Thanks.
