Journey to Wonderland
For Sophie on your 6th Birthday By Jeremy Gernhaelder When the stars fill the sky, And it's time to say good night. After mommy gives you a kiss, And turns off the bedroom light, You don't have to be afraid, Just let your imagination take flight. Think about your dream catcher, And tightly shut your eyes, Then whisper these words into the dark, "Penelope it's time to rise!" And if you believe in her with all of your heart, Your unicorn will shed her disguise. She will come to you with butterflies, And flowers in her hair, With wings that shimmer in purple and blue, And soft pink skin so fare, She will take you to a secret place, A magical world she wants to share. A place with clouds of purple and pink, Touched by the tops giant trees. With fields of wild flowers, As far as the eye can see, A place filled with every kind of animal, All living happy and free. Each night Penelope will bring you, To your personal Wonderland, Just imagine where you'd like to be, And rub your unicorn with your hand, Then you can climb the tallest mountains, Or build castles in the sand. The journey is yours to take together, No matter where you choose to start, She will guide you in your dreams, Just remember to do your part, Don't forget those special magic words, And always keep Penelope in your heart. For when your day feels long, Or when it's full of gloom, If you're feeling all alone, Or just need to see the flowers bloom, Remember that your unicorn, Penelope, Is waiting for you in your room. So just lie down in your bed, And give in to sleep's embrace. Then she will take you on a ride, To your very special place, Where you can party from dusk 'til dawn, And restore your smile to your face. |
For Thy Country
Written, with love, for Queen Elizabeth II By Jeremy Gernhaelder In your homeland they say, "For God, For Queen, and For Country", A heavy burden for any individual, And one you were not destined to bear, But you did so with a smile. Born to privilege and to duty, Part of a noble heritage, One regarded with reverence and distain alike, Yet I cannot help to wonder, Is this what you really wanted? I see photos of your youth, Innocent pictures with your pets Family stills of a different time, A different life, One not yet bound to the crown. So easy it would be, For many to scorn you, To look upon your life with envious and bitter eyes, But I wonder how many could have stepped into your shoes? How many people could have shoulder such a heavy burden? You alone had to strength and courage, To wear the crown, To honour your people, To lead them through joy and strife, And now you are gone. Will the world ever know of your fortitude? Will there ever be another to rule as you did? To show compassion for the people, To navigate them through the journey to this modern world and beyond it, Will we ever know another Queen with the greatness of Elizabeth II? In your homeland they said, "For God, For Queen, and For Country", You have served your people faithfully, You have honoured your God, And now it is time for you to rest and for your people to mourn. May God bless and protect the Queen. And may all hail Elizabeth II one final time, For long has she reigned. A burden she accepted with a smile, For a country and a world that she loved. |
