Grapevine Stories

Philip came to me today...

A beautiful poem written by English poet, Joanne Boyle, following the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II












A touching poem about The Queen and Prince Philip

Phillip came to me today,

and said it was time to go.

I looked at him and smiled.

as I whispered that "I know”


I then turned and looked behind me,

and seen I was asleep.

All my Family were around me,

and I could hear them weep.


I gently touched each shoulder,

with Phillip by my side.

Then I turned away and walked,

with My Angel guide.


Phillip held my hand,

as he lead the way,

to a world where King's and Queens,

are Monarch's every day.


I was given a crown to wear

or a Halo known by some.

The difference is up here,

they are worn by everyone.


I felt a sense of peace,

my reign had seen its end.

70 years I had served my Country,

as the peoples friend.


Thank you for the years,

for all your time and love.

Now I am one of two again,

in our Palace up above.
