Coronation

Coronation
By Michelle Morris

I wonder how King Charles feels
On the eve of his coronation
Disquiet or fears about 
Letting down our nation?

Or perhaps calm and optimism
Joy, peace and happiness?
Confidence and trust
In his coronation being celebrated?

For heavy is the crown
And powerful is the throne
We mark this occasion
The uniting of our home

An historic investiture
A celebration of this moment
Embracing the future plans 
To connect us as a country 

May God bless our King
And lead him beside still waters
Through every challenge
And every accomplishment

May the crown be lightened
By faith and guidance
May our nation instil pride
In our hearts and minds
