Young Princess--Older Queen
Young princess proud and fragile
Taking each dawn and covering her nights.
Young princess strong and wise
She is her past and future in her eyes.
Walk silently muted clouds you speak
Young princess, lioness, formidable, not weak.
Young princess, born in power
She builds straw homes, spear and tower.
Dark foe dares not to touch her hand
Young princess still the angry waters in her lands.
Young princess, find a secret place
Rest quietly, weep lightly, light your face.
The raven, the eagle, and serpent sings
Young princess nature bowed in faded things.
Young princess bold, strong, and daunting love
She reminds us of years, the fire and the dove.
Older queen, sage in wisdom, silent in grace
Older queen, once a princess, grown in lace.
Young princess, holds a heart in time
Young princess, kingdom thine.
Writer's summary – easy to understand;
better to digest.

Not yet, but hopefully we will make it across the Pond one day. A trip to the USA would keep me in writing material for years.

Hello, Liz -- not hardly. I would be very cautious, and fearful about tackling a topic that concerned your Queen Elizabeth and her court because I would be afraid that someone, somewhere of her employment would take some of my thoughts the wrong way.
And you know my thoughts. They can be easily misinterpreted.
Write soon, Liz. And have you made plans to fly over to my country?

Hi, Gypsy Rose Lee -- my sincere thanks to YOU, for such a sweet comment. If I haven't said it enough, I am sorry. I do appreciate you so much.
Write soon.
Wonderful verse. Like a poetic fairy tale.
When I read the title I thought you might be referring to the UK queen, who came to the throne at a young age, but who is now 93.
