All Alice Wanted

All Alice wanted
Was to retrieve 
The slipper of glass
Birth a beautiful boy
Cry carefree, caring incautiously 
Do dangerous things, drive daringly
Endure every broken heart easily
Freely fly away from failure
Gain nothing by giving graciously
Help heal others hearts
Ignore inflammatory implications
Live with long lasting love
Make love to many men
Plan nothing, please plenty
To have taken away
The troubles that tore terribly
That’s all Alice wanted
