Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth Ll

It is in these times we remember
here in the UK her majesty the Queen
in my lifetime Elizabeth so royal
showing real dignity even in her teens

Her coronation before my birth
so in the earliest times on the TV
much and often her presence there
always looked up for then I was wee

The Queen has been a model of majesty
faithful in duty, full of faith in her Lord
showing her belief in the sovereign God
with trust in God's word her sure sword

The amazing miles across the seas
her majesty traveled both near and far
a great lover of her own Scotland
loves its beauty high above every star

Now been on her throne these 70 years
platinum indeed so richly deserved
for all these years of undying service
many challenges but never one she swerved

Now tonight her majesty has gone
her smile not be seen again
a testimony of selfless service
always was her people's friend!

(My thoughts on our majesty Queen Elizabeth reaching 70 years on the throne of Great Britain.
But tonight (08/09/22) sadly has passed from this world and we mourn a great Queen and inspiration who we may never see her likes again.)

Count me in! A fan of Queen Elizabeth. Her character, countenance and charisma, were unique. A marvelous family, as well. Now long live the King! I saw her marriage and coronation in newsreels in theaters when I was young. Quite moving,to us who are not royalty. God must have loved and guided her. Huggs, Pangie

Beautiful tribute Gordon, it is hard to believe she is gone. When I was little, even though I live in the U.S., I loved Queen Elizabeth, sometimes pretending, in my childhood play, to be her! She touched the hearts of many worldwide, lovingly remembered and embraced in many hearts. She is a beautiful testimony to God's love, radiating from her beautiful smile, just imagine her now, in heaven's splendor in the light of the King of kings and Lord of lords. A beautiful woman, and a beautiful poem.

Hello Gordon McConnell, yes the queen passed away today. I was shocked to hear this news. She will be sadly missed. Now Charles will be king. Instead of singing God save the queen. it will be God Save The King. A very sad day. blessings my friend.
