Once Upon A Time

What if I read to you a story,

Starting " once upon a time.."

And you realized it was your life,

Spelled out on every line,

Would you hear my voice in wonder

As it brushed across each other,

And pray my arms had the strength to hold.

The truth about the world,

Would your view on life be different,

And would it shock you most to find

That the things you thought defined you,

Could be summed up in two lines,

And all the ones you took for granted,

The ins and outs of the everyday.

Play a bigger part in who you are

Then you would ever dare to say,

Would you wonder at the pages left

And all the places that they've led

Then wow to take each moment,

One that you would be proud to read

Because there is a story of your life

But it's you that holds the pen,

And I hope you fill the pages right

Before you reach the end...
