Dedicated to Diana, the Princess of Wales
7/1/61-8/3197

Forever a beautiful woman in our hearts...
never to be forgotten for all that she did...
for all that she was...
A Lady for all time.

Candle in the Wind
by Elton John
September 6, 1997

Goodbye England's rose;
may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
where lives were torn apart.

You called out to our country,
and you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven,
and the stars spell out your name.

And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind;
never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in.

And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England's greenest hills;
your candle's burned out long before
your legend ever will.

Loveliness we've lost;
these empty days without your smile.
This torch we'll always carry
for our nation's golden child.

And even though we try,
the truth brings us to tears;
all our words cannot express
the joy you brought us through the years.

And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind;
never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in.

And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England's greenest hills;
your candle's burned out long before
your legend ever will.

Goodbye England's rose;
may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
where lives were torn apart.

Goodbye England's rose,
from a country lost without your soul,
who'll miss the wings of your compassion
more than you'll ever know.

And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind;
never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in.

And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England's greenest hills;
your candle's burned out long before
your legend ever will.

I Didn't Know Her

I didn't know her
yet I cared about her
as though we had known
each other for years.
I admired her strength,
her caring heart, her desire to
make a this world a better place.

I didn't know her
yet I will miss her.
She left this world
all too soon, and now
two young men must grow
without their mother who
loved them dearly,
unconditionally.

This tragedy is something that,
although sad, should remind us
of what we have; teach us to cherish
our own lives and our loved ones for we
know not how long we will have each other.

They say life is short; this is true.
Grasp onto every day, make it worth something
to yourself or to someone else.
Give your life and someone elses meaning
so that when the light dims,
it will have been worth every effort.

This Lady touched our lives
in one way or another.
She spread happiness and hope.
And, although she will be missed,
her legacy will carry on and
she will not be forgotten.

I didn't know her, but I wish I had.

Shadows

The shadows grow as bells beat out
A crying mournful dirge:
A precious light has been snuffed out
By creeping, stalking scourge.
A shining star, a ray of hope
On this forsaken Earth
She showed us how to love and care
Changed sorrow into mirth.
Bringing back the days of yore
When might was used for Right
Walking through the Shadow Realms
Never shirking from the fight.
Bringing aid and true succour
To those that were in need
Not afraid to stand alone
Her heart did Princess heed.
But now she's gone, her life snuffed out
By senseless, grasping greed
And around our Princess' body
Like piranhas they do feed.
Do not let her death be vain,
Hear now what I say:
Carry on the works she did
And bring back light this day.
For the shadows grow and deepen
On this day of dark despair
Nevermore in life shall see
That radiant face so fair.
The world is dimmed as light recedes
Like Camelot of old
Our shinging star has passed Beyond
Leaving Shadows long and cold.
The Shadows stretch across the land
To the tolling of a bell
With heavy heart and tear-streaked face
I bid Princess farewell.
