“Two Ladies And A Fountain”

Once there was a lady... noble, fine and fair
She had a heart of pure spun gold as lovely as her hair
The Lady was a Princess with blue blood running through
But earthly matters fretted her, as earthly matters do...
She was the rose of roses, her soul was filled with wealth,
In fact she was so splendid, God picked her for Himself!

There was another lady who loved the Princess so,
And wished that she could honor her, and let the honor show...
She wished a fountain could be built in the Lady’s own home land,
But every time she turned around, she was dealt a losing hand.
She worked so much and toiled so long to have a fountain made,
But precious few would help her, and even some forbade...

But not to be dissuaded, and never give up her plans
She avowed, “If they won’t honor Diana in her own home lands,
I’ll build the fountain in my yard, and build it with my hands!”
Now there’s a pretty fountain--- blue water flowing through,

All adorned with rocks of gold, and many flowers too...
The bougainvillea listens as the water trickles down,
The wind chimes whisper “Princess” and takes away your frown.
She’s placed graceful angels to guard this sacred ground,

And the darling Gnome sits quietly, not uttering a sound...
The impatiens give their color to brighten up your day,
And the scent of roses in the air beckons you to stay.
The hummingbirds kindly gather to sip upon the vine,

As the honeysuckle gives her gift of sweetest wine.
The gardenia and the jasmine offer their heavenly smell-
And the fairy does a dainty dance, as she casts an ethereal spell...
A Labor of Love is what it is, and labor you have done,

And it has been well noted by The Everlasting Son.
Now the lilly of peace is all abloom in this magnificent dome,
And all is well at the fountain, where the two ladies feel at home....

with my immense admiration
for her tireless and continuing
Labor of Love for Diana, Princess Of Wales)
Maria,
I feel it is quite necessary
that someone honors you,
so I humbly give you my gift of verse...
Love, Cathy
