Of all the roses in the garden
You were the chosen one
The most precious and royal
Of all the roses in court.
The one that had inspired
Love and sad songs
And also brought us with your
Warm and radiant smile more sunshine.
Timeless will be your presence
Your kindness never forgotten
Your inner beauty was so admired
And in the end you remained and stayed untouched.
For you are forever the true English rose
The one that will grace and perfume
Forever all our lives
And everything that you ever touched.
Even so you were in life mishandled
So ill treated and fatally wounded
All in all the wonderful you
Came always shining and graceful too.
And so you had opened more of your petals
Now in death but never forgotten
You had inspired so much love with your compassion
Your zest for life and your fighting spirit
With your loving touch and radiant smile
So down to earth you graced the sun
And now my dearest Princess you living all your dreams
And dress with love forever all the stars above my head!
