She Cared

She came from a life of obscurity Pushed into the constant scrutiny from the locals and around the world. No longer allowed to be a simple girl. She used her popularity and fame Treating everyone the same. She showed compassion to the dying Held children that were sick and crying. She rolled up her sleeves and dug in Helping to bring supplies and medicine to the part of the world most never see. She knew her status could bring publicity. So the world ould see plights of the people. Hoping that more aid for them would be helpful Now those moments are nothing but a memory Captured in writing and photography. She's the example that we should follow Never being afraid to let our feeling show. Treat others as our equals in life Whether it's a stranger, or husband and wife. she raised her sons to do the same So they carry on the work honoring her name. I try to have courage, to remain strong and protect the weak that are treated wrong. I think of her often when I meet people in need and know this is someone She' gladly feed. I am comfortable doing what she'd easily do. though I don't need the whole world knowing what I do. In memory of Princess Diana. Who used her status and her heart to show how true royalty should care about the people around them and not be afraid to get dirty once in a while or help dress a stranger or give food to a hungry child. they forgot what caring was really all about till she left the royal palace and became a queen to her people. No need for a crown and status. They gave their devotion to Lady Di. I have always thought of people the way she did. Often putting away my on needs for the needs of others and knowing the difference between who we are and what we are and that needs must always come before the wants in life.© 23 hours ago, Bonnie J Hollywood-Cutts

When I read the first couple of stanzas, I thought this might be about Princess Diana, and voila! Correct! It is a great tribute to her. May we never forget her compassion.

I really appreciate you reading my poem. Princess Di was a lovely and special person. Never thought she was more important than the common people or poor and sick
