The Queen: A poem

So, dark financial, social and dire prospective days have been further clouded by the sad passing of our Queen. Whether a staunch Royalist or not, few can fail to be somewhat touched by the outpouring of grief and subsequent life changes and cancellations at present.

My poem that I am offering was initially requested for BBC Radio, but media controls seem to have concerns over such, so I’m presenting it here as have had many kind comments about it where it has been seen.

As a bit of a lift for me personally in these times is that I have just won another poetry competition at a Festival, but meanwhile will post my Queen poem.

The Queen

I never got to meet our late Queen

But I understand that many people had,

Although that doesn’t really bother me

I do find her tragic passing very sad.

As she seemed to have been our queen

For virtually all of my cognisant life.

Presiding in maternal and caring way,

To guide us along and ease our strife.

So now many moving words of tribute

Are being said about this unique Lady,

Who with majestic manner and dignity

Steered us away from sorrow and shady

Dealings following some leading figures

That Her Majesty side-stepped well,

As controversial relationships emerged

Which deeply upset her, you could tell.

But continuing to serve and put country first

This wonderful woman took it in her stride,

So that now her time is tragically over

We can regard her with an almighty pride.

For certainly we won’t see her like again,

As tears flow like from a fractured dam.

So I will now join in with the multitudes

With simple words of “thank you Ma’am”.
