Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

I know a place,
where no one grows up.
The only villain is a pirate with a hook
and his rascal crew.
There are some other children
one girl and two boys
who can fly if they just
believe.
Second star to the right and straight on 'till morning
is where you will find us.
When I fell out of my pram when the nurse wasn't looking
I wasn't claimed by humans again
but now I am a lost boy
our leader is the boy in green.
It is peaceful here.
We play in the woods when we're bored.
The vast ocean that surrounds us
are like stars that lightly explode around the sky.
This place is my home.
Neverland is my home.
