Once Upon a Time

Come and read about Love’s – “Once Upon A Time” – Warning – bring tissue!

Dark Side of the Moon

Once upon a time he loved me,
Whispered words to make me thrill;
He grew quiet years ago now,
And his silence haunts me still.
How I long to hear, “I love you.”
Eyes of ice give me a chill….
I can still remember when we
Danced and frolicked in our prime,
Dreamt together, took vacations—
That was once upon a time.
