Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time, there was a young girl,
excited with a dream vivid in a pure
mind,
And her heart waited.
Once upon a time, there was a young
woman, happy and content in her world,
And as she held each child to her breast,
Her heart sang.
Once upon a time, there was a woman middle
in years, devastated with pain and sadness
as her dream ended, and her heart cried.
Today, as the excitement, joy and pain has
molded together, God's touch reveals a
heart that is again young, happy and
alive with another dream.
