Lasting beauty do I write
Not physical but one of might
A beauty which refused to die
A beauty which refused to lie
Let us read on for it is said
That beauty lives and is not dead
Lasting beauty standing strong
The ravages of time so long
Have challenged you along with taunt
Trying to rid you of all want
Which you deserved along with need
That born from thirst stolen by greed
Lasting beauty holding firm
Doth with your soul's credo confirm
Looks to the future with full face
For it ne'r falls nor flees from grace
For what you fought for and did win
From those who mocked yet became thin
Beaut'eous strength shining from within
