• Once Upon a time
    The old cliché
    Of tales and rhyme
    Was led astray

    The husband went missing
    The princess fled
    The child was crying
    The prince soon found dead

    To freedom she went
    Alone with her child
    Internally torment
    Externally she smiled

    A family she gained
    But never re-wed
    A “Happily” she obtained
    Stories she read

    The ending was different
    But still just fine
    Frown? She wouldn’t
    The princess’ smile would always shine
