Fort McHenry: Birthplace of Our National Anthem

Beauty Lasts

There is a place in memory, where beauty takes a stand,
Forever to remain there, in that enchanted land.
An image of unagingness, perenially bright,
A glow of youth and beauty set against the fall of night.

These memories are shared between the lover and his love,
And nothing of them changes, though the heavens wheel above.
She always will be youthful, with a smile sweet and demure,
And he remembers beauty, and it stays forever pure.

Though fashions have their changes, and her hair is now of white,
And his vision has surrendered to a constant one of night,
She still remains for him the alabastered gem,
And her beauty lasts forever, in a world of only them.

WOW ..... Good morning, OESY.

Thank you for the beautiful graphic and the wonderful link. The National Anthem music was much better than the version that I posted earlier.

Happy National Anthem Day!
