There are many things that God allows which I do not understand. The death of Great Britain's Princess Diana, most assuredly, is one of those things. However, because I know that God alone gives every soul their first breath and takes their last, I can only say His will was done. I admired her from afar for many reasons, one of them being; her God-given strength to stand up for herself and do what she felt was right in the face of great adversities, while enduring wrenching heartache and emotional pain. A few years ago, in the 19th year following her tragic passing, I was inspired to pen this tribute to a fine, still very much missed, human being, who happened to be...a Princess. Pressing-on...

1961 - 1997 ~Diana~ In innocence she came forth yea, all the world could see he a prince...they were in love... for all eternity...thought she but found, as vision cleared her dream of...always... torn and snared ~Diana~ Still...motherhood made her strong and she drew hope from heirs borne thus, lifted on wings of strength from above... she soared...on destiny's dove ~Diana~ Reaching past her pain to those poor and without it was for the distained she ignored and tossed clout for within her goodly heart a quest resided to give of herself in a way far greater...than part ~Diana~ The beauty of her, though there in face was not the thing that spun her lace but it was her ...reach... to touch and serve for what was right that made her glow…despite her night ~Diana~ Is it any wonder… that she pined...reciprocal love something...never known? Albeit, He...who loved her best took her hand and flew her…Home ~Diana~ Oh, departed fleur, it was God who gifted us with your presence... a marvelous golden token ...of a rare lasting essence Your graciousness will ever shine like a jewel...warm and kept your sparkle will never cease for, you are a memory... so preciously set ~ Thus, throughout time in the breast of the young...and those old, like mine there will ... eternally wave... her Royal Banner Indeed, a Fine Lady... with a mapped beneficence which eons cannot ever erase just happened to be...a Princess... ~Diana~ Proverbs 31:10 & 25 copyright; jmsbell 8/31/2016

This is a fine tribute to a fine woman who was taken away (we do not understand why) way too soon. This world needs more people like her. Thank you for sharing, Joyce. Love and blessings to you,

Oh, what a beautifully worded tribute to such a lady of royalty. We always remember where we were when life-changing events take place. I happened to be in church on the Sunday morning following her death on Saturday night. Our pastor stood in the pulpit and told the congregation about the accident, and my heart was forever broken.

A beautiful tribute to the undying Diana legacy that continues to grow. I can't but see William or Harry and I immediately think of her. She brought something new to that ingrown royal family that will continue down through the ages.

So much hope went on that dreadful day the lights went out. The atmosphere in London was strange ... ineffable to try and describe.

This Princess had a class that can't be learned. She was born with it. That, along with a good heart. She is missed so much by so many. The King of Kings had a special place for her, I'm sure.

Love ya!

A moving tribute, very moving indeed. She was a grand lady, one of a kind. Such a shame to die in such a way, in a speeding car. Thank you for this, most appropriate. JMS Bell. John
