Diana Queen of
Hearts
Today we laid to rest
our Diana,
A woman who despite
her own pain
Showed to us, all
that we can be.
Through this process
of grieving her far too short life,
We have opened up
our hearts,
The world over and
joined together in love.
Lady Diana has shown
us that this capacity for love
Dwells within us all.
What a wonder it has
been to see
All around the world,
People reaching out
to their brothers and sisters
Across all lands,
all cultures, all social classes,
What a legacy she
has left us in her passing.
And how comforting
that her sister in love,
Mother Theresa also
chose this time to pass on to the other side.
One wonders if she
has gone to show her the way home.
Our princess who has
opened so many hearts in so many lands.
The world will be
lonely without both beloved women.
And Yet, I see through
their passing,
Our hearts have been
opened up,
To see the love we
carry deep inside.
And I believe many
people the world over
Will carry on the
work that was so selflessly and humbly,
Accomplished.
My prayer is this:
That we keep our hearts
open and refrain from going back,
To our old ways of
isolation from our brother man,
and all Mother Earth's
creations,
But rather instead,
Reach out a hand to
comfort those in need,
Listen to compassion
to those we meet,
Without judgment or
criticism,
Open our eyes and
see the spark of the creator,
That lives within
us all,
And remain open to
the love that is building within our hearts.
Diana, gentle Queen
of hearts,
You will be sorely
missed.
Dear sweet Angel,
Rest in the peace
of everlasting love.
By Cass Hepburn 1997
