Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time I thought

I’d never see the day

When age would bring me wrinkles,

Creaky knees and hair of gray.

 

Once upon a time the years

Stretched out, without an end,

Without the need to know what waited

Right around the bend.

 

Once upon a time the world

Seemed welcoming and kind,

But that’s a different picture

From what most today would find.

 

Once upon a time is how

A fairy tale might start,

But after that, reality

And fiction drift apart.
