Tribute to the Late Princess

November 18, 2008

As one of the Thai citizen, I want to pay my respect to the late HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana.   For the past few days, the royal funeral ceremony was broadcasted nationwide, I have been watching and very proud of our Thai unique customs and cultures.  So I sat down and tried to write something as a tribute to HRH Princess.   And here are two poems or verses or whatever you may call. Their contents are similar but written in different styles.  With all my respects.

“Now the angel had left the Earth”

Tears run down from the eyes,
Heads turn up high to the sky,
Blue as it could be blue,
It’s the truth of life, still so cruel.
Now there’s one less angel on the Earth.
   

Highest in nobility withal lived the simplest,
Greatest generosity always give rather get,
Kindheartedness likes a river flowing down from heaven,
By purest love and care you were driven.
Now there’s one less angel on the Earth

Shimmering Chaopraya at dusk gently flows,
As if all people’s loves are adrift with the wind blows,
Candles are lit up throughout the country,
Leading the way to eternity.
Now there’s one less angel on the Earth.

With love, we all are thankful,
With respect, we all are grateful,
May you rest peacefully high up there,
By Gods and Goddesses, may you be taken care.
Now the angel had left the Earth.

“Heavenly Home”

Teardrop
Clear, explicit
Running, flowing, rolling
A feeling of sorrow
Sadness
   

Angel
Majestic, graceful
Flying, leaving, satisfying
She’ll always be remembered
The Princess

Chaopraya
Glimmerly, flickering
Streaming, carrying, delivering
People’s loves are poured
Affection

Heaven
High, peaceful
Greeting, opening, embracing
The journey to eternity
