The Day Diana Died ~ Warrior Princess ~ Tears Never Lie


The Day Diana Died

'Twas one like any other, rose the sun
Some rain, some heat, some wind thru treetops sighed,
A day yet touched by princess prize she'd won--
What were you doing on the day Di died?

A Cinderella story once gone sour,
Her prince convinced: The import of his pride;
How he must feel now, this very hour--
What were you doing on the day Di died?

Her thirty plus odd years now in upheaval,
Spent righting wrongs and braving one great ride,
She rises to the stars to battle evil--
What were you doing on the day Di died?

A billion tears from now still bear the bride--
"What were you doing on the day Di died?"


Warrior Princess

Pale and blond and beautiful,
Royal, bold and dutiful,
In a way her life was full,
Never drab nor never dull,
Came the day her duty called,
Evil's winning, Good's been mauled,
Skip old age, the war is stalled,
Stars need battle scars recalled.

Diana gains a sword to wield
In our heaven's battlefield.


Tears Never Lie

Fear levels me, finds me
Wanting,
Enchanting princess oh so
Daunting,

Lantern bright finds me
Dying,
Never lie, these tears I'm
Crying,

Oh! Diana, for thee I'm
Weeping,
Wakened from my lonesome
Sleeping,

What? To find thy sweet heart
Rising,
Still in shock, not
Realizing,

No not e'er shall I be
Seeing
Another who can match thy
Being,

Sweet Diana, soul
A hovering
O'er my world while I'm
Discovering,

Is she truly gone to
Flying?
Must be, my tears can't be
Lying.
