Once Upon a Time
by Edie Melson
Filthy rags
Hateful masters
Ugly hags
Aching heart
Wishes made
Things changed
Rules obeyed
Delightful gathering
Striking clock
Hope unraveling
Life abandoned
Party fled
Dream denied
Future dead
Broken heart
Determined prince
Kingdom searched
Message sent
Captive sought
Desolate found
Freedom bought
Lifted up
Life redeemed
Carried away
Fulfilled dream
Fairy tale
Cosmic joke
Cruel lie
No hope
Jesus Christ
Heard my call
Paid the price
Prince of all
This is one of my favorite posts :) Great to see you this weekend!
ReplyDeleteEdie, once again you've gripped my heart. You've caused me to stop and reflect that, yes, once a time I was without a prince. Now I have the only prince worth having-the Prince of Peace.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this.
