Shall I Compare Thee To a Work of Art
Shall I compare thee to a work of art
which hangs eternal on museum wall?
Her smile forever sets this piece apart;
to all the Mona Lisa does enthrall.
The smile created by the artist’s brush
is frozen now throughout eternity;
a placid face, and skin without a blush;
a cold and lonely smile for all to see,
but, gleaming, your bright smile lights up the day;
a ray of sunshine meant for all to view.
Unlike the Mona Lisa cold and gray,
through soft brown eyes your love’s a shining hue;
and though we’ll pass, the grace your words impart
will ever show the beauty of your heart.
