Finding Neverland

Today I found myself uneasy And feeling older than I do A feeling thats been creeping And its one I'd like to lose I saw a dear little friend One I see as quite a sister A boy has now entered her life And this stung just like a blister My little friend, baby of JGME Has now, at last, grown up Now why, do tell, does this sting I am left to stare into my cup When we were young we were read All children grow up, but one And as I look at my room of old I wish back my childhood fun Everyone must grow up play is soon forgot This, at least, is certain Ignoring whether we want to or not So for now I will curl up, safe In my childhood quilt, in my nook I shall stay as I was And I fly from life into this book Let my friend grow up and live Let her love and and let her learn But childhood is a gift from above And bookmarked I stay, unmoved, unturned
