The Smiles of Diana
An icon of British royalty, the “People’s Princess”
smiled
from within capturing the heart of America.
She mesmerized the world with her
interest in fashion
and popular culture but is most remembered for her
compassion, a trait upon which she thrived.
For a small, wee child
With rosy cheeks aglow
An uncertain
smile
Seemed quite
apropos
A delightful young girl
Of hardly ten
With a hint of a
smile
Let you in…
Inside her heart
Where warmth resided
Soothing comfort
Her smile provided
A fairytale wedding
Showered joy and pride
Within a blissful smile
She both laughed and cried
Empathy and devotion
Surpassed all mystical charms
Within the most loving smile
New life wiggled in her arms
Arms that opened wide
Even in times of dire distress
With a smile so big
Stayed strong as a mighty fortress
Graceful beauty
Her true legend rendered
Smiles within smiles
Always to be remembered
Sir Elton John's "Candle in the Wind", written for the death of marvelous Marilyn Monroe, was re-adapted for the one of his Princess friend. It was performed during Diana's funeral in London, at Westminster Abbey on September 6, 1997.
