Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time She was a little girl twirling in her dance class Draped in pink satin with a ribbon kissing her curly hair With a mischievous smile that you couldn't stay mad at A smile that says, “I’m guilty” but is too cute to care A little girl whose sticky candy kisses warmed your heart Once upon a time… Once upon a time She proudly walked into her kindergarten class She would shower you with mothers day cards and macaroni art Her face would light up as she saw you waiting for her after school Who would smile when you said I love you, to which she replied, “I love you more” Who was growing up before your eyes, but was still your little girl Once upon a time… Once upon a time Your little girl lied as she looked into your eyes As she kissed you goodbye and walked out the door You thought you knew where she was, but you were wrong Does that make you a bad mother or is she a bad daughter? Her friends you thought you knew were teaching your little girl how to lie Once upon a time… Once upon a time Your little girl made new friends Lines of white powder and razors But nobody made her happier than the bottom of the bottle She was slipping through your fingers, but she was a professional liar and you had no idea As you laid in your bed thinking of how proud you are of your little girl She laid in the bed of a stranger as his fingers ran down her body Once upon a time… Once upon a time You got the call about the accident Never would your little girl drink and drive Her body six feet under as the truth begins to surface Did that make you a bad mother, or was she a bad daughter? Her smile lit up your room, her presence gave you meaning to life Once upon a time…
