Once

Once upon a time

I was a human 

I loved

I lived

I cared

I laughed 

I wept

I knew right from wrong

Once upon a time

There was a world

Of sunshine

Of kindness

Of caring

Of understanding 

Of helping 

Of being more than "me"

Once upon a time

There was truth

And faith

And hope

And trust

And knowing 

And giving

There was wisdom 

Once upon a time

I wished

To go back 

To give back

To be free

To know you

To know me

To go back to the goodness of ONCE
