Elizabeth II

 

Elizabeth II

We never met. You and I.

We walked in different circles -

you in pomp, me in a crowd.

You became Queen when I was three

and walked through my life

You are MY queen.

We never met, you and I

but we spent seventy years in company.

Thank you for those years.

We never met, you and I

but we walked together.

Now you walk alone

and,

maybe,

I'll catch up with you

soon.
