<p style="text-align:center;">We were all, once beautiful, in our own ways, and young too, but, as we got older, things (including memories!) got lost, bit, by bit…</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Once beautiful, there&#8217;s nothing ‘bout it, that I can say.  Once beautiful, but, no more, and, W-H-Y IS that?  Because we’re no longer young, we got too many wrinkles on our faces to count?  Once beautiful, but, you’re, no longer, because you’re, no longer young, no longer, as able-bodied as you once were, but, W-H-A-T, can you do?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Once beautiful, but, how can you, remain beautiful continuously?  How, can we all, keep being beautiful?  And how, can we N-O-T, lose what beauty is, when there’s, too much ugliness in this world?  There’s NO sure way, is there?  Nope, don’t think so………</p>
