Running across the finish line rope
Glimmers of joy are shared in their eyes
The little boy cheers
Arms raised in the air
Smiles like that of the Cheshire cat
Other women fall behind
The code of conduct set for her laying shattered on the grass
Picking the boy up to give all her love
You would never know she was a princess
Kissing the crown on their heads
Sitting on the bench listening to their song
The crunch of gravel on the way to school
Board games scattered about
Breaking the rules to choose the names
Loving to cuddle and snuggle
Sneaking out under the crown’s watchful eye
Teaching them to smile and never to frown
You would never know she was a princess
Little black dresses
Camera lenses on her
Gears lying everywhere
Orange lining the street
Crunches of steel
Fragments of glass
You would never know she was once a princess
Flowers and photos
Mourners in black
No smiles to be seen
Only tears to be shed
There the casket lies
Her deepest joy
Carrying her away
Never to smile at them again
Breaking news
The Princess of Wales is dead
