Charles Prince of Wales

CHARLES PRINCE OF WALES
Dear Prince, I've dreamt your crown sets on my head,
Like many USA boys, in our prime
Not fantasy, but stuff of dreams, instead,
So we could shape the world and in our time;

So we could lead the dreamers in their quest
For God's Divinity, that sweetness for the soul,
For Goodness, Mercy, Hope, and all the rest
Of qualities that make life's worthy goal.

We've loved your Mother, as we know she's you,
And hands you down, these matters from her past,
To show mankind, that love alone can do,
Not very much without what makes a love to last.   

Yes, I have dreamt I'd wear your crown one day,
In stuff of dreams, that God will bring your way.
                    God Save the Queen
                       God Save the King

The prince would be quite charmed I am sure, Sir! My very best regards, Ron. :) john P.s As a devoted monarchist myself I believe your worthwhile poem would have much suited the former Royalist cause! :)
