Diana gave Charles a message
for her sons Harry and Wills
She nearly predicted her own passage
This is what gave them the chills
Charles let the boys sleep
for them to gain their strength
But all too soon they would weep
for a time of great length
In the morning when the boys awoke
they were led to a sitting room
For a moment, no one spoke
Then the news came like a boom
“Your mother has passed away,”
the boys were gently told
Onto their calm emotional state
the two could no longer hold
Harry and William, twelve and fifteen
hugged their father and wept
Soon they were joined by the Queen
In her arms they were kept
“Don’t cry for me too long, my dears,”
was part of the message from Di
The boys were brave despite their fears
There were no more tears left to cry
“As you go through life, be true to yourselves.
Follow you heart and you’ll never go wrong.
Trust yourself and nobody else,”
was Diana’s inspirational song
Our princess is gone; their ‘mum’ has passed
But let’s not let our own lives sever
Cherished memories remain ever vast
Through her sons, Princess Diana will live forever
