read Her poem "Lonely" for you.

LONELY 

lonely
as a leaf on the frosty ground
in the sphere of broken dreams and silence

tempting whispers from the icy wind
unspoken promises
to pick me up and let me fly
just one more time

to be lifted up
to spin around in the air
to fly with the wind
just one more time

but i resist
i shall never fall again

i let myself freeze to the ground
and finally the snow flakes gently cover me

my heart is put to rest 

(Written by Queen Elizabeth V. Alexandra of Norway © March 2009)
