Once Poem by Michael Rosen
Once
Once there was a boy who
wanted to be beautiful
and a girl who
wanted to be strong.
The boy was worried
that he wasn’t beautiful enough.
The girl was worried
that she wasn’t strong enough.
One day they went out to seek
their fortunes.
But there was nothing.
There was nowhere for them to go
Nothing for them to see
No one for them to meet.
There was no story for them
to be in.
They couldn’t even meet each other.
You may have thought they had already met
but they hadn’t
because there wasn’t anywhere
for them to meet.
Until you came along
and decided that you can do
something about it.
Until you came along and decided that you can do something about it.
Build me a boat, that can carry two, and both shall row, my love and I. Fred Neil

This is a great poem. The beginning of a love not found yet. A love millions of miles away! A Love found by consequence
