E lizabeth – our queen for 70 years, L iving her life with Christian fears I n an ever-changing world. Z ealously leading us all, A nchored by her unshakeable B elief that God was helping and guiding her. E pitome of style, tolerance and grace. T rustworthy leader of every one of her subjects. H er vow to serve us ruled her to her very last day. R eaching out to, and unifying E very corner of the world. G odliness and kindness, not greed, her message. I n this ever-changing world N o other leader has been so steadfast for so long. A n outstanding role model for world peace and harmony.
