Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Acrostic

Fancy Free

Forever I had dreamed of my “Happily Ever After” scene.
As a child, I became Snow White or Cinderella in my dreams.
Never had I imagined living all alone and fancy free!
Childhood fantasies included lots of children and tire swings.
Yesterdays dreams were replaced; my future was yet to be.

Friends married and drifted away; education reshaped life.
Reality kept me busy without an inclination to party although I was fancy free.
Eventually, biological clock ticked fast; then, came marriage, children, and more children!
Each day, as a senior, rare free moments dream of being fancy free.
