Come here, my darling,

Let me tell you a story.

A story different

For every person who tells it.

A story of blind faith,

And of struggle.

A story to show you how

To work for what you want,

And how to lose everything that you need.

A story that is told to you

From the time that you are very little,

To the time you are ready to live it for yourself.

A story meant to scare you off.

A story meant to inspire.

A story of fair,

And of unfair.

A story just out of reach,

Yet always in your hands.

A story of broken hearts,

And happily ever afters.

A story of words that cut deeper than a knife,

And of words with the power to heal.

This is a story of

The young and the old,

The sick and the healthy,

The happy and the unhappy,

The believers and the non-believers,

This is the story of everyone.
