Beautiful Once Upon a Time

 

A "happily ever after"
To tie up all loose ends;
A story where unlikely
Conversants become friends.
A seeker finds the gold.
A young man finds a wife
Of rare and noble quality,
To lead a blissful life.
All foes end up defeated,

And ancient spells are ceased.
A frog becomes a prince,
And Beauty tames the Beast.
A series of good fortunes,
With underdogs contending;
A "once upon a time"
That leads to a beautiful ending.
