ONCE UPON A TIME

When the world continued, to refuse me, anything, I asked for,

I tried even more, to please. Finally, in my pain I cried out,

‘Why is it, I cannot have anything? Why am I not permitted,
even the smallest thing!'

There came the day, when I stood,on the mountain top,
of my despair, and let perish, every desire, every dream,
all I was, and in faith, took up ‘Hope’
placed it in the empty chamber of my sad heart,

and wept.
