Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, we know,
Is how most stories start,
But from that moment, lives diverge
To endings far apart.
For circumstances change the course
Of how one might get raised,
Including whether actions
May be criticized or praised.
And whether one’s existence
Has more sorrow or more laughter
May determine if the outcome
Will be happy ever after.
