Once there was a little girl.
She spent her time singing and dreaming of a day
when she would feel like her life began.
Of a day when she would belong,
and could hold the hand of her man.
Then she grew up and
life wasn't like the fairytale she had planned.
When she could think, she realized,
“maybe I just need to take a chance.”
See, my friend.
Sometimes all one needs to live
is a little space to dream
and the courage to fly.
