Once Upon A Time... Poem by Raina Hutchins

Once upon a time
In a world of make believe
There lived a little girl
Very young and so naive

In her world, there were no tears
No broken hearts to mend
For she believed that fairytales
All had a happy end

As she grew she always dreamed
That one day she would meet
A young and handsome prince
Who would sweep her off her feet

Then one day her prince arrived
And got down on one knee
Declaring all his love, he asked her
"Will you marry me"

Walking down the aisle to him
She thanked the Lord above
For making all her dreams come true
In finding her true love

Standing side by side
Their vows of love they say
An ordinary morning
Became an extraordinary day

They face a new beginning
Where their hopes and dreams came true
They sealed their love forever
As today they said "I Do"

Fate brought them together
Two halves that made a whole
Two strangers who connected
And found each other's soul

Their love's a sacred flame
That will burn eternally
Nothing here can dim its glow
Or change its destiny

For each line on their face
There is a story to be told
Each precious moment shared
Will be a wonder to behold

Time stands still for no one
Things will change along the way
But always they'll remember
The vows they made today

And as the years pass by
Their dreams they will fulfil
And that little girl will know
That fairytales are real..
