|         An immutable poem             |
|    Unchanging over time, forever      |
|   Written in transactions flowing     |
|    That show: We are together       |
|                                       |
|     Unbroken blocks for a Rose        |
|     That I found in September         |
|   Freedom gives this simple prose     |
|     For all our time together         |
|                                       |
|      Thank you for being you          |
|    Like this poem, it is forever      |
|     After all these years true        |
|      I love our time together         |

About this artifact

_______________________________________

The transactions form a spend chain. One on-chain line omitted by the cited source reads “That show: We are together” with control bytes around the quoted phrase.

How it was stored

OP_RETURN explicitly marks an output as unspendable and lets it carry a small data payload. Unlike fake-address methods, it does not create a spendable-looking UTXO. That makes it the least deceptive standard way to place small data on-chain.
