Once upon a time
in a land not far away
lived a little girl
who sang every day.
She sang about beauty,
happiness and joy.
Little did she know
she upset one boy.
He got so angry,
but in fact is was envy,
that made him do
what he did then.
He climbed through her window
when the clock stroke ten.
The next day the voice
of the little girl was gone
because the boy did
what he had done.
She could no longer
sing, rhyme or speak.
The girl suddenly
felt very bleak.
All her color
vanished at once,
just as her light
and all her songs.
She hid in the darkness,
somewhere far away,
until a firefly
came one day.
It was small, but it was all
she needed that day
to add a little color
in her world so gray.
She found once again
beauty in Life.
She found harmony
after the strife.
Together they crawled
out of that night.
Together they found
the girl's own light.
Soon her voice
followed as well.
She could now scream,
screech and yell.
It took her some time
to sing again
and all her rhymes
were filled with pain.
But slowly the songs
became happier each day,
with every doubt
the girl could slay.
Yet the songs about
beauty, happiness and joy,
keep sounding differently
since she reclaimed her voice.
