Once Upon a Time...
Once upon a time I was a little girl.
Once upon a time I used to dane and twirl.
Once upon a time I knew true joy.
Once upon a time I had a little boy.
Once upon a time I was madly in love.
Once upon a time I got tired of pushes and shoves.
Once upon a time all my goodness disappeared.
Once upon a time my head finally cleared.
Once upon a time I began to understand,
That my peace and happiness relied on me, and no man.
