Once upon a time
There was innocence
And sometimes people cared
For the littlest ones
And sometimes marriages were mended
For the sake of the children
And parents sacrificed
To make a good home
And men would give up dreams
For a higher calling,
Glad to sacrifice
For something bigger than themselves —
(Where is George Bailey?)
And once upon a time
People knew that life was sacred —
And were grateful just to be alive
And maybe once upon a time
Never was —
But it does
Exist in some people, in some places
And maybe once upon a time
Can never be —
But we can always dream
