Queen Elizabeth

Queen of jeweled crown, she reigns dignified; 
Undying loyalty, tall prince at her side.
English lavender blooms, her majesty’s tale
Eclipses tragedy, a monarchy hailed. 
Never lost for prim smile, year’s traditions shown;

Elizabeth, with grace, ages on Windsor’s throne.

:) Lovely and my grandma, who passed away quite some time ago, somehow read it with me, right by my shoulder. She was a war bride and British to the end. Loyal to the monarchy and followed them almost religiously. I like Queen E... but Charles? Oh and dear.... William... now William and Kate make me smile. Hugs, Cyndi

VERY eloquent tribute my friend! Acrostics are difficult enough as it is but RHYMING ones are even more so in my opinion. And the winner is....
