(Died 31st August, 1997)

Her gallant soul has but taken flight
She is now enveloped in the Light
Of Jesus Christ, her Lord and Master
She is happy in the Hereafter.

While on Earth, she led a true, good, life
She was a daughter, mother and wife
She did good and had a loving heart
She cared deeply, for others, no part
Was truly false, 'cept maybe on show
She hid behind a brave face, although
Her inner agony, hard to bear
Almost too much, she had her share
Of crying to sleep, dreading the day
How she felt inside, who can say?

Yes, she had her yoke, burdens to bear
But for her children, oh, always there
They were her pride, happiness and joy
Her reason for living, her two boys

She bustled about from place to place
Sharing comfort, joy, to each his space
The greatest gift that she could give
Was her time so that others could live
A life of dignity and release
From Life's hardship, she brought Peace ...
Only for a moment, her smile shone
Like a beacon of hope in a world forlorn
Without her, the world's a far worse place
Lady Diana, Lady of grace
Your star will shine for evermore
You are a Legend, of folkore.
