The Talisman

Everyday I would

nearly collapse

And suffer soon

a feverish relapse

Till one day

I wore something

which turned the tide

and stemmed the taps

It was a green stone
in a golden ring.

I wore the ring

for thirty years

throughout this time

I had my fears,I guess The lord

gave me The Ring

Because He wanted

me to bring

Love care and cover

to parents and siblings,

And I would say

‘it’s the magic parrot

Who holds my life
Though we all know

Who keeps us alive.
And now I know

  And I have seen

How wonderful

Life has been

And I know, I am

The Unknown

Unseen special

Of The Ring,
The Queen.
