Diana

She was born embracing a silver spoon
 yet she eternally hungered for love
Searching her whole life
 then she was gone too soon

She became the peoples’ princess
 while still vulnerable and shy
Quickly gaining our admiration and praise
 becoming our defining royal jewel, Lady Di

She bore her country a pair of charming princes
 maybe the only true love she ever found
While battling her own torment without a sound
 fulfilling her duties and championing her causes

Maybe she is still seeking herself in eternity
 for a song to play to her tune
Sadly, the rest of our love for her came
 after she was gone too soon
