Poetry: When I was the one

by Madeline Greet

Created on: October 30, 2009

"Once upon a time, they lived happily ever after. "


That's the fairy tale now.


But when I was the one...


"Once upon a time, in a land of love and life, a beauty and her handsome, they lived as man and wife. They had many children, they shared many laughs, they shed not a tear or fear for heartaches long since past. And they lived happily ever after."


When I was the one...


"Love is pure and true and good, me, eternal optimist. Why worry about rush or fuss, when we are meant to be?"


Fairy tales. A matter of perspective.
