Seventy Years
Four days of celebrations drawing to a close
Coming together in unity and love
In honour of the one who’s heart beats
for the very people who turned out to cheer
Flags, banners, and memorabilia decorating
the streets. Bunting hangs high, far and wide
The Town Crier brings his message to us
We sing, cheer, and dance in reciprocation
The Master of Ceremonies leads the countdown
A sea of people young and old
join him in excitement, then the beacon is lit
Burn high, burn bright this awesome night
Seventy years we celebrate
Seventy years she reigns
Seventy years she serves her people
Seventy years over many nations
she presides
Seventy proud years
Seventy ever changing years
But in seventy years she changes not
Seventy years of commitment, love, compassion
wisdom, and solid reliability
Seventy years

A good platinum poem, Rick.
