Princess Diana
I remember when I heard -
The awful total shock.
It's those iconic moments
That your mind can never block.
The news clips of the wedding
And her royal obligations;
The flowers at the palace
And the grievers of all nations.
The funeral, reminding me
Of that of JFK,
Both with children, young and fragile,
Crushed beneath the public sway.
Now it's 20 years behind us
But the story will not fade,
For the life of any princess
Doesn't match how it's portrayed.
