I see you every year.
Every year, right alongside us,
For as long as I remember,
I have known no other.
Sincerity, Sacrifice, Selflessness
We all hope, in our own way.
To strive to mimic principles
But we can only just hold a minute candle.
Dedication, devotion, diligence
When this time has passed, they will comment.
We were the lucky ones.
We lived the Elizabethan age.
Perseverance, passion, persistence
Her virtues
shown each and every day in full view.
laid before us.
Ceremony, commitment, contribution
Loyalty shown
How often it shames us
who only just do, with no offer of more.
Service, steadfastness, strength
A portrait of faithfulness
Born out of parental humbleness
Instilled rightly into future generations,
Allegiance, Adherence, Affection
Your silver and gold are now gone.
Diamond days are a recent memory.
Platinum arrives much too soon.
And we say, “Your Majesty,
Congratulations on your Jubilee. "
We toast your pledge to serve us.
We serve you to honour your pledge.
