Written by Lynn White
When I was a child
my mother told me
that Never Never Land
Is where the lost children go,
those who can’t find their way home.
My mother told me that
they stay children forever
and can play all day long.
It sounds like a fairy tale
and perhaps
that’s where these children have gone,
stepped into a fairy tale
or perhaps
they’ve been taken into one
by a monster
straight out of Grimm.
And now they wait.
And there’ll be others
waiting.
Waiting,
for someone to find them.
Perhaps they’ll put up a sign
hoping someone will see.
And they’ll sit by the sign
waiting for rescue,
waiting for the fairy tale ending
that can never come.
