I am so grateful for the gift of Faith.
“When I am alone and frightened, Faith is there. When it appears
my resources and reserves are diminished, Faith is there.
I am so grateful for the gift of Faith.”

Beautiful Advocate – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon
Photo: Getty Images. Princess Dianna sitting with amputees, victims of landmines, Angola, 1997. Dianna as many will remember ignited opposition to the use of landmines which resulted in the Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty and drew attention to the work of the Halo Trust whose work is clearing mines and advocacy against mines and weapons of war. She had that inner beauty, photos of her shaking hands with lepers, sitting with HIV sufferers, visiting homeless shelters and os on. I’m not a monarchist, but her work was of a different order.

Skin to soul
You could be
an actress
a model
the well-known face
of perfume
or clothes.
You could be
the spirit
the Muse
of painters
and writers,
a woman

an icon

sweet angel
are more lovely
more adorable
more desirable
more special
to me
skin to soul
than any of those.
