THE AGING OF THE PAINTED DOLL  (time capsule)

Once she was young
Vibrant
Fetching
The cutest of the cute
Not like her portrait you
see here several decades
later

And even was the subject
of a very famous song
"The Wedding of the
Painted Doll."
A glorious wedding
it was--fit for a Queen
Here she bears stoically
the ravages of time


"The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected."--Robert Frost
