Prince Philip

Prince Philip has died. He was the rock of the marriage to the Queen. A Nove Otto poem.

Prince Philip passed away today.

His life was full in royal ways.

A queen was his devoted wife.

Born in Greece, he had to get out.

The family's safety was in doubt.

Their new home gave him a good life.

His life embraced his love of all.

Family and country could call,

Prince Philip, respected in life.
