Long Live The Queen
She enters the room in elegance
Youthfulness is evident
Her eyes hold excitement gleaming
Her heart filled with fears streaming
Into the Canterbury she walks with gliding strides
As the Archbishop receives her at her side
Her Coronation has begun
In the early morning sun
Four symbols of authority are her commitment
The orb, scepter, rod of mercy, all are her fulfillment
Sapphire and rubies the ring of royalty
Placed upon her finger in loyalty
St. Edward’s Crown will forever rest
Glimmering upon her darkened hair blest
A vigorous heart beat within her breast
Her people await her first formal address
A song of “God Save the Queen” throughout England hearing
As gun salutes are fired to the sound of crowds cheering
With her emergence on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
Her words of sincerity sweet as wine in a chalice
“Throughout all my life and with all my heart
I shall strive to be worthy of your trust”
Stored into the journals of time her speech shall always be just
