Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

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.

Andrea Dietrich September 3, 2017 at 9:04 PM Hard to believe it was a whole 20 years ago. She is still the talk of the town!! Nice one, Ilene.

Jan Allison September 2, 2017 at 3:32 AM It made me sad seeing many of the programmes that have been on tv this week , her legacy is her children and William will make a wonderful King. Seeing those 2 children walk behind her coffin in the full glare of the public and the media circus was heartbreaking. :-( hugs jan xx
