HERE'S TO THE ARTISTS OF RENOWN

Here's to the artists of renown,
Their legacies pass on,
Paintings and prints in every town
For folks to look upon...
For in each exhibition hall
And in each gallery
God's treasure trove's a miracle
For those with eyes to see...

To stand and stare, then simply smile,
To memorise each frame
And causing these to stay awhile,
Now truly glad they came...
For those that smile are truly blessed
By artists young and old
Who shared with these their treasure chest,
Their silver and their gold...

The Internet preserves delights
With images and such,
Paintings and prints and precious sights
The whole world loves so much..
Here's to the artists of renown,
Each had their tales to tell
And while on Earth none wore a crown,
In Heaven, they're known well...
