MY SOVEREIGN.

So here’s a little piece
For she
Who has been
The ever present
Spirit of this nation
For the duration
Of my life,
And a few years beyond that;

Existing
On the peripheries
Of all our lives,
But enriching them,
And many more,
With her tireless devotion
To our welfare
And the lands we rest upon.

Inextricably linked
To the position she holds,
And bettering
Its heritage
With every modern moment
That passes
Before her
Never changing agency,

But also with the knowledge
That as every year
Speeds away
It’s one more since
Her beloved father died,
And so to this bride of history I wish
A glistening anniversary,
And many more.
