Once upon a time,
There was a girl who lived with little.
She was little.
There was a boy who took her away,
And gave her a home,
A family,
Himself.
With him, she felt tall.
But then the war came,
Guns and smoke,
Blood and tears.
And he grew small.
She tried and he tried.
Like that "Welcome home."
Soon became "Goodbye."
Yet forever they remained within each other.
