Prince Philip, A Love Story

By Dawn Hough

Forget for a moment The work he has done And think of the woman Whose love he had won

More than seven decades There for each other Not only a consort, A husband and lover

Sometimes apart But always there A father of four Who’d nurture and care

Two steps behind her In all public life

But right there beside her As man and wife

For the country worked endless And played his part

All for the woman

Who had stole his heart

Now without her prince Our Queen’s saddest test Her most difficult time As he’s laid to rest.
