Monarch, leader, woman and mother - our Queen 1926-2022
The day has come when your long reign is over.
There is a beautiful bridge for you to pass over.
Where it goes nobody really knows.
Your faith assured you there are no dark shadows.
You were a woman standing strong for all.
Who will be in all our hearts forever more.
You were a true lady full of love and grace.
Unique and really impossible to replace.
You were a leader who many looked up to.
Always knowing the right thing to do.
Standing for honesty, peace and truth.
The nations mood you could always soothe.
The day has come for you to meet your maker.
You know you’ve always been God’s caretaker.
Your faith was strong and you steered us well.
You were a devout Christian as we could tell.
The pain of grief that we now bear,
Is great but we take comfort in prayer.
Wonderful memories your people now share.
It’s easy to see just how much we all care.
The journey you make now is one of glory.
Your life unfolded into a beautiful story.
Now you will be with your precious Prince Philip.
Your soul mate to whom you lovingly looked up.
He was by your side through thick and thin.
Once again you’re united, as a new era begins.
You gave us all so many fond memories.
Moments that will be remembered for centuries.
A monarch who reigned for over 70 years.
Never once did you display your fears.
You guided us with your ever steady hand.
You truly loved our beautiful land.
Above all else you were a mother.
You instilled the need to love one another.
Your family will do you proud.
Charles has taken his solemn vows.
So now it’s time to say goodbye.
You are as free as a heavenly butterfly.
So slip your hand into your beloved Philip’s.
He will keep you safe, so don’t you worry about us.
In memory of our Queen Elizabeth II
1926-2022
