Once upon a time
A long, long time ago.
Lived a girl that cried
With a past, no one could know.

She sat caged in her mind,
Like a dog or a bee.
Till along came him, kind
And her mind was set free.

Long lived was the joy
A life lived in glee.
Till now she stands looking
Back at her time with he.
Her life with love was coming to end,
But the joy lives on, again and again.
