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.
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.
In commemoration: Princess Diana would have been 50 years of age on 01 July 2011
Lord, you are my sanctuary,
I come to you for rest,
When life just gets too hectic
and I need a place of quietness.
When I come into your presence
and your peace flows over me,
I just close myself to all the rest
and fill myself with Thee.
I know that when I take the time
to find this quiet place,
All my stressfulness and worries
You tenderly erase.
It's in these quiet moments
that I spend here with You,
Your peace just washes over me
and my spirit is renewed.
If you would like to light a candle in memory of
Princess Diana, a
loved one (or loved ones), please
email me with the name(s) and, if appropriate, the
dates, a message and URL if you have one.
