Engraved portrait of Elton John, facing left

Goodbye England's rose,
May you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart. You called out to our country,
And you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to Heaven,
And the stars spell out your name. And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind,
Never fading with the sunset,
When the rain set in.
