Once upon a time
She dreamt she was a princess,
dancing elegantly through the balls.
Once upon a time
He dreamt she was a warrior,
Defeating his enemies to and fro.
Once upon a time
They dreamt they could could live forever
And watch history pass them by
Once upon a time
Their dreams were destoryed
But why does once upon a time need to be just a DREAM?

This was an assignment given to me in school. I did it wrong for my class but I enjoyed this poem too much to redo it.
