and perhaps, one day you might have liked to grow and share your Neverland with someone you’d come to know
but was life ever fair to boys who were lost granted, you discovered yourself but at what cost?
they said to never say goodbye and to never go away but they forgot to warn you sometimes life won’t let you stay
and you’ll never be forgotten because we all believe with a bit of fairy dust in our Neverland, you’ll forever live.
Remembering Michael Llewelyn Davies, one of the boys who inspired J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. This poem is dedicated to him and to Jonathan Ferrara, an author whose upcoming book inspired me to write this poem.
