A child's mind is a precious thing, Their imagination can take them on many adventures anywhere to do almost anything. From building the world's tallest building, flying like an eagle, and being a cook to being an adventurer and finding exotic things that would make you laugh, wonder what a snail eats, or be a pirate like Captain Jack Sparrow!!
But there was one little girl who would never let the institutions tell her that she could not fly!
Through the color system of her imagination, she soars at her highest of heights. She felt as if she could go to the moon and Milky Way.
But then that big mean ol' Captain Hook clipped her wings. She wished that Peter and Tink would come to save her. To take her to Neverland.
"But they're only in my imagination! At least that's what mean ol' Captain Hook says" she thought to herself.
The years when by and suddenly she found Peter but would he even know who she was? Would he remember being held away in Captain Hook's jail? Made to eat disgusting most vial thing? No, he truly never knew she even existed.
As the years went by so many things changed. She knew
That Peter had made a name for himself by showing that imaginations should never run dry.
However, she watched as Peter taught the adults how to imagine their most wicked adventures and wildest dreams.
It reminded her of the things she missed. But surely she was too old and was told she could never do the things she dream about.
But then one-day Tink found her and reminded the young lady. Think showed her how to fly. But what Tink said next made the girl cry.
She said, "Peter told me to come and find the little girl he use to play with so many years ago. He told me to remind you that you're never too old to fly" Tink Flew over her head and sprinkled her fairy dust over the girl's head and suddenly she was flying.
What this story says, dearest Johnny is that you always remind me that I am never too old to fly.
This picture is of my being found by MY Tink and YOU'RE my
Peter Pan.
Ever since the movie Finding Neverland, I've been constantly reminded in all of your movies that you're never too old to fly, play Pirates and never be captured by life Captain Hook and let my imagination be taken from me.
Thank you for showing me that I'm never too old to fly. Happy birthday Johnny!
