once upon ...

once upon a time
the tale began
a dream, the story
to it we ran

a glass slipper
the belle of the ball
happily ever after
we've seen them all

yet in our hearts
is that one flame
a flicker, a spark
that we'll be that dame

so hold the faith
see the magic inside
look deep within
feel your pride

without that joy
of who you are
such pixie dust dreams
will mock you from afar
