#Queen consort of multiple Commonwealth realms

On the passing of Queen Elizabeth II

"Lillibet" a familiar voice

Whispers in my ear

Philip holds out his hand

"it's time to go my dear" 

"Already Philip?" but he just smiles,

"I knew you would protest, 

But you've served your country well my love, now it's time to rest".

My family are gathered around,

I know their tears are for me, 

But my body has grown tired,

And now I'm finally free.

"I broke the record, 70 years, 

I suppose you are quite right" 

I took his hand, and walked towards the tunnel of white light.

Then I stopped for a second, 

And looked upon my son, 

I knew I had four more words before my time was done. 

I walked up behind him, as the bells began to ring, 

I gave his shoulder a squeeze, 

and whispered, "God save the King".

RIP Lillibet…
