A poem reflecting a place featuring an amusement park that once existed in Santa Ynez Valley in California. It welcomed kids and adults alike where many came to see and share in adventures.

Neverland – Susan Varo – 7/3/2009

 

There was a special place

Although I’ve never been

It’s so much talked about

Just like a long lost friend

 

Children everywhere

The sights and sounds a dream

With so much room to spare

And a train that ran on steam

 

Music filled the air

Many came from miles around

Just to see you and your magical home

Some spinning round and round

 

There was a special time

When you roamed the hills in mirth

But that was long ago

When your feet once touched the earth

 

Where are you right now

The landscape needs your touch

It replays your accolade

That the world needs just as much

 

Now the land is barren

Still empty through the night

Is there any magic still

From the second star to the right

 

Right now the ride is over

And those things left behind

A clock with surrounding flowers

Whose hands you will never wind

 

If one small child should ask

Because they don’t understand

It was, it is, well to explain

Never mind it was Neverland
