Peter Pan

I was a lost girl
Looking for something
You stole my heart
When you took my hand

You were a lost boy
Refused to grow up
Run far away now
Far far away without a plan

I was your Wendy Darling, darlin
And you were my Peter Pan
Cause we’d fly away into the skies
And off to Neverland

I was your young love
A new adventure
Falling fast and hard
We didn’t stand a chance

You were an old soul
In a bedtime story
Heard it a thousand times
But til you didn’t understand

I was your Wendy Darling, darlin
And you were my Peter Pan
Cause we’d fly away into the skies
And off to Neverland

I was a fearless dreamer
Always looking forward
I said come with me
Let’s forget where we began

You were a reckless flight risk
Always looking backward
At all the things
That we already outran

I was your Wendy Darling, darlin
And you were my Peter Pan
Cause we’d fly away into the skies
And off to Neverland

But even fairytales have an ending
Though its not always happily ever after
So, Peter, next time you take to the skies
Don’t forget me, don’t forget me, don’t forget Neverland

Cause, I was your Wendy Darling, darlin
And you were my Peter Pan
Cause we’d fly away into the skies
And off to Neverland

Comissioned Part 2

I was paid to write a poem for a friend’s mom for mothers day. Here’s the result…

Ever since I was just a little girl
You taught me to be strong and to be brave
to be sure of myself and what I believe.
You showed me how to make my cocoon,
then emerge as something beautiful,
spread my newfound wings and leave.
Each day I find myself flying higher
Up into the great big, blue sky
Becoming the butterfly you hoped I would achieve.

Everything I now know about being free
and about being a beautiful butterfly
I have learned it all from you.
Every day my love for you expanded
just like my brilliant wings.
Every day it stronger and stronger grew.
Watching you fly made me understand
made me know that I could spread my wings
and that someday I would fly, too.
