For Diana

My heart is now breaking.
This day has turned too sad.
Life was once ours for the taking.
Some thought we were quite mad.

So ambitious and we were fearless,
Growing up in more ways than one.
Dancing till the night was starless,
And continuing far into the sun.

Leaving trails of broken hearts,
Hard-pressed to find the one.
Never worried, for we had smarts.
It was Peter who your heart won.

Watching as our children grow,
All beginning lives of their own.
Wishing they would always know,
All the love to them we've shown.

Love is all we really need to live.
It fills our hearts and all our needs.
We share all that we have to give,
Both in our words and in our deeds.

Time passes, with miles in between.
We had dreams to write our memoirs.
Dear friend, it's now your parting scene.
Forever loved, you'll now dance among stars.
