Together

Once upon a time 
There was a girl 
Who laughed and jumped
And skipped
And licked lollipops
She was as happy as any girl could be
But sometimes the sun fell
The smile dropped off of the girl's face
And her lollipop fell out of her hand
But then
Always
There was another girl
Even stronger, even smarter, even better
To raise her up
And make her laugh
And pick up her lollipop for her
And then they grasped hands
And skipped together
Because together
Is always better
Than apart
