The World's Favourite Literary Website

To Lady Diana The Princess Of Wales

by

Alice C. Bateman

If I could write you a letter in Heaven

Here's what I think it would say

That your absence has made my heart sadder

And I've missed you, every day

 

If I could write you a letter in Heaven

This might be the way it would sound

The world is a grimmer, less colourful place

Because you're no longer around

 

We miss you, Diana

You were a friend

To one billion people, or two

 

We love you, Diana

And now that you're gone

What is this poor world to do?

 

We poison each other and poison ourselves

Our children and even our pets

We're killing ourselves and calling it pleasure

With nasty things like cigarettes

 

We needed you, Di

And you've gone away

And no one could e'er take your place

At the front of the crowd

In this silly old world

Of this silly old, sad human race
