Gone!

dusk arising

Gone!
A figure I looked up to
all my life.
A leader nobley carrying
past tradition through into
our twenty first century.
Gone!
An inspirational figure
of unfailing decency
Gone! Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II
rest in peace noble lady.

    You know it took her "going" to ensure her legacy. For a bloody royal, she was a human being to the end. Now she let's us show her the respect she showed us all while she was still with us. Thanks for sharing your reaction... peace to the Kingdom tonight.

    I truly second your thoughts on what a fine example of dignity and willingness to serve was our Lady Queen - -- Thanks Dusk for this fine elegy.

    She was extraordinary. I seldom give much notice to world leaders but even across the world and not under British rule she caught my attention and I found her loveable. A nice tribute.

    Beautiful elegy, Dusk.

    Beautifully said dear friend. Her incredible life is her legacy and it will go on forever. My deepest condolences to all those who mourn her passing.

    On this particular occasion, I am, as indeed you are saddened .. Although more than happy that you were able to steal my thunder ...... Neville
