Stories and Poems

BETRAYED (In memory of Princess Diana)

A mother who left me as a child
A father who has suddenly died
A husband who betrayed me
A lover who dismayed me

I sat at the table and could not eat
No one saw my torment and
Thought I was sick
I felt so alone
But life must go on

I tried to be comforted by friends
Phoned many times to hear friendly words
I felt utter despair
Is there no one there
To help me to overcome my grief
To give me comfort and relief

Life must go on

My aim is to help people
Without hope like myself

I must be strong
For my innocent sons
Even they have been taken away
I can only see them now and again
It's a burden to bear

I must bide my time
Until William is king
Queen mother I will be
Even in death they can't take that away from me
