HM QE II – Truly “The End Of An Era”

Following the sad passing of our beloved Queen, initially I wasn’t sure how to mark this historic event, any words would not quite have the impact I sort to achieve, so I thought a poem may be appropriate.

My voice becomes deeper with each passing day.

My sight becomes clearer as I walk by the bay.

My hearing much sharper as I listen or pray

My devotion for all, established as I lay.

————-

My memories richer, as I continued to age

The stories we shared are like those of a sage.

The hours spent talking seem like yesterday

and I am so proud that we shared a pathway.

————

My steps become slower as my strength starts to fade

Though the devotion I share shows no sign of old age

My life becomes more precious as my mortality calls

But life has been great, and no regrets do I recall
