Museum of Time

I don’t have a lot, but I've got all I need,
A ticket to enter, a program to read,
A wide winding staircase of marble to climb 
As I tour the Museum of Time.

My eyes gaze in awe while I wander the halls, 
The wealth of the ages affixed to its walls;
But one missing portrait attests to a crime 
In the fabled Museum of Time.

The void is so empty it forces a halt, 
A work of art absent from memory's vault – 
The graceful aesthetic of Love in Its Prime 
Once adorned the Museum of Time.
