Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time-
A dream hoped to come true- 
The Cinderella story,
You hoped would happen to you 
The ringing of the bells-
Where everything would change. 
The cry of your heart-
Would bring a fairy of no name. 
The flick of a wand-
That would change your situation 
A pumpkin and a carriage,
To change your destination. 
But your life is not a fairy-tale- 
A happy ever after waiting to come true. 
Your life is not a story book- 
Your life is written by you. 
Flick your own wand
To change your on destination. 
Take the story of a fairy-tale-
And make it your own demonstration.

-January 26th 
So Write your own fairy tail
Dream your own dream
Make your story-
Better than what it seems
