Moona Ashraf Pakistan Five Years ago Its hard to believe its five years Since Diana put on her jeans and went out to Angola... To fight for the banishing of landmines... As I watched TV I admired her so much . I cannot believe its five years Since I saw Diana's dresses go up for auction... And I thought to myself... " I would love to see those dresses. " I never dreamed I would be seeing them under such sad circumstances. I cannot believe its been five years Since Diana was on holiday with her two boys and I was so excited to see her latest picture having fun with William and Harry and I hope happy at last.. Five years ago... I was amazed like many others... At her beauty and just how wonderful she was... Who can ever forget... That beautiful ice blue dress... She wore at the Ballet... I will never forget... When the headlines said... "Diana's new man is Al Fayeds son" , How happy I felt... Because at last I thought Diana will be happy... I will never forget... The pictures of Diana and Dodi... And how pleased I felt that Diana would be happy... Never dreaming what would follow... The words... " What I will do next will shock you all" Go round in my mind...Diana spoke those words to the press five years ago... What she did was the biggest shock ever... I often wonder what Diana meant... Who can forget... That Sunday morning and the following week... , Who can believe its five years ago , Because I cannot... Diana's memory is as clear as ever... Five years ago... I had never visted Althorp House or Great Brington... I knew they meant so much to Diana... But I never dreamed I would be going there... To see her resting place a year later... Five years ago... I felt so alone... People would talk for so long... Then didn't want to know... Five years later... I have friends who love to know and want to talk... However many five years... Go by I will never forget Diana... Treasured memories of Diana... Five years later... And not forgetting... Dodi Al Fayed Who made Her Happy... In the Summer of 1997... Love, Julie Meyers Yorkshire, England Diana's Gift I cried shards of pain when I heard you died, killed by the soulcatchers, brought down in mid-flight by the children of technology, your Spirit rising out of the darkness, a beacon of Hope soaring to another plane. They never understood you, though they sought to illuminate the darkest corners of your heart, not realizing that in those shadows rested the essence of your brightest gift. You felt, lived, the desperate emotions of a struggling, slowly dying, world. You couldn't merely skim the surface of the murky deep waters of sorrow. Your heart made you dive into the depths to better communicate your gift of Hope, Love, and Compassion, to a society gasping in the heat of violence. They never grasped your true life's calling, never really saw as you brought into your heart each shattered spirit that had suffered sorrow by war, disease, famine, violence, life, How you took them into the chambers of your heart there to rest and recover by the light of your gift, surrounded safely by the shadows of your shared sorrow. There to learn again to dare to dream of a distant day when the light of your shared spirits could dance from out of the shadows into the hearts and souls of life's future generations, bringing with it the brilliance of a world filled with Hope, Love, and Compassion. Long may your light still shine in the hearts of those who really knew what lay beyond your shadows.

Louise Sargent New Zealand Blessed Stone Time had waited, tending time For a stone born of the Divine One shaped by the had of destiny Supple… pure… refined The quoin was set on English soil Beside a haggard stone Set in a crumbling, towering wall Built on the Stone of Scone A cornerstone, it propped the walls That round the castles stood It bore the weight of queen and crown Divinity knew it could Then one by one, shards fell away Their purpose to achieve Set in stead around the world Distresses to relieve A flagstone on the path of life Engraved with a smiling face It wound its way into our hearts To bring us peace and grace An alabaster altar stone Set deep in every soul A place to offer hope and praise Humanity to extol A footstone in a stalwart wall Indifference to oppose For those whose hearts and bodies waned Inviting sweet repose A headstone on the monument Of charity and light Inviting all to come and dance And share in life’s delight A tombstone laid in effigy Reviling hate and greed That they may die, be put away And love may reign instead A river stone upon the well Where all could drink and dream A place to draw the draft of hope Deepest wishes to esteem But stones return, as they all must By time or man’s own hand To that place they fall to dust To live upon the wind Plucked foully out, too-early pried And cast into the sky “Take back this gift!” a Queen shrilled out And God began to cry We gathered up those ruined shards And set them in a way To build a kingdom for the one Who died that August day Now one last gem we’ve set aside To grace a fountain tall We’ll fill it with our love and hers And rain it down on all No dust for her or buried piece She will forever shine And guard we will, this priceless stone Until the end of time She was the cornerstone, you see From which great wonders came I’ll stand upon her kingdom wall And forever speak her name ~~DIANA~~ Teri Garrison Montana,USA Unforgettable Diana She glided through the harsh, unrelenting breeze; And built her wings with natural ease. She dealt with heartache, The pain she could not fake. Instead of falling prey to the torment, She helped those in need to hope and smile for a precious moment. Admirers near and far, Knew her good intentions were the shine to her star. The glitz, the glamour, the loneliness, and the rest; were challenging obstacles that began her journey to being her best. A selfless humanitarian, a true friend, a gifted leader, a loving mother; Who effortlessly captured and endeared the world like no other. For those who tried to cage her spirit Didn't understand her amazing soul had no limit. With an understanding look, a tender touch, and a gentle smile; Diana has blessed our world forever in being part of it for just a little while.

The light of love… So true of heart… This she gave us… As her legacy… Our beautiful… Our irreplaceable… ~~Diana~~ Queen of hearts.. Trish Hendl New Zealand Thinking of You Despite the darkness that surrounded me, I always saw a light- A star, directly above; Glittering, shining so bright. It reminded me of your smile- Which would always brighten my day. I could only picture your face- As you lived thousands of miles away. So every time I needed you, I looked up to that star. When I see that star I always hear you whisper, "I always said I'd never be too far." Then I can smile-even though we're apart, Because I know you're here with me, Forever in my heart. Clay Nichols South Carolina USA As I look forward..to another visit to Althorpe this coming Sunday, my thoughts will naturally be enriched by the memory of a beautiful young woman who gave so much of herself during her short time on earth. Her body so poignantly laid to rest on an island is reminiscent of her cruel isolation from the House of Windsor. For me, one incredibly beautiful poem epitomises Diana's gift of universal love The Life that I have The life that I have is all that I have and the life that I have is yours. The love that I have of the life that I have is yours and yours and yours. A sleep I shall have a rest I shall have yet death will be but a pause. For the peace of my years in the long green grass will be yours and yours and yours.
