My Mona Lisa Poem by Maurice Harris

My enduring, everlasting, magnificent beauty;
To herald my exalt to the world, my solemn duty!

A beauty so rarified, as to instill true awe-
The most beautificent creation mine eyes ever saw!
As the world celebrates Her beautificence
I celebrate your's-lo, its magnificence!

I shan't though, idolize you, in a museum;
I have boundless emotions for thee-the world must see them;
God's mentation upon thee, spared surely, naught-
He who loves me the most, cared so much, He hath brought
You back to me, for my adoration and so that I may
Celebrate your beauty, with the world-every day!

For I was not, nor, ever could be-prime,
To be worthy of such a beauty-sublime!
