Once Upon A Time

I guess you could say I was hired to write this one...

Once upon a looking glass

In a land not far away

A chipmunk sat upon a rock

While dawn slipped into day

Once upon a crystal lake

Grass blades swaying in the wind

A mother deer stood in the wood

Teaching secrets that it hid

Once upon a bright blue sky

In a nest above our heads

A father eagle took his turn

Guarding two tiny little eggs

Once upon a moonlit night

An owl sang her song

Of winters past and summers seen

And days that are now gone

Once upon a time

When I was just a little kid

I chanced upon the island

Where all these creatures live.
