Where The Lost Children Go

My mother told me that 

my sister has gone to Never Never Land.

It’s where the lost children go,

those who don’t find their way home

and those who fade away and die

like the wild flowers I pick for the house.

My mother told me that

they stay children for ever

and can play all day long.

It sounds like fun there

but my mother says

she will never let me go.

She told me the children there will grow wings 

and become angels.

I think that when my sister gets her wings

she will fly back home.

My mother says no

but I shall wait.
