Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time, as fairy tales start
Once upon a time, joyous was a heart
Once upon a time, that is all it was
Once upon a time, just a lost cause

Life itself is dependent on time
With structure, meter and rhyme
A brief moment to savor the taste
A large portion of it to waste

Once upon a time, as fairy tales start
Once upon a time, joyous was a heart
Once upon a time, that is all it was
Once upon a time, just a lost cause

Time can be an enemy or a friend
One can only hope it will come again
If time does not itself restore
What you could have will come no more
