The Shadows Through the Window

Just have a little childish faith in the things that seem to be nothing but a sweet fantasy.

There are two boys who are said to never grow up

But only one did not get the choice.

Both could Fly

Both were magical and very hard to find.

Kindred spirits who spread joy to all children across the globe.

One boy wore green and played a beautiful pan flute,

While the other dressed in blue and played in the snow.

Both were Mischievous Misfits and Clever Tricksters,

But no matter how many pranks they play,

and trouble they cause,

The boys were alone.

Desperate for a place they could call their own.

To escape their worlds of isolation,

They formed pure hearts of gold.

One boy flew to Neverland,

to create adventures among the pirates,

Forming friendships with Lost Boys, Mermaids, and Indians

and a bond stronger than steel, with a fairy named Tinker Bell.

Finally, no longer alone,

He found his home amongst the twinkling stars.

Bringing delight to those who wished to follow.

The other boy found his home with the man in the moon,

A rather wise man,

Giving a guiding light to the lonely boy,

to others who he would eventually consider family.

His playful nature would protect the children of the world

from any harm that may appear near.

Once and for all, the boys had no more fears,

For they have found their places to belong,

while protecting the children from all their Nightmares.

So just sit by the windowsill and look out into the night sky,

And maybe you will see,

That impish pan flute player,

or a glance at that troublesome frosted white hair,

whose bad habit is to lightly nip at your nose.

With the pan flute harmony playing in the distance,

And the little snowflakes that breeze on by.

If you believe hard enough,

you could possibly see two youthful boys

Flying across the sky, spreading hope and laughter to every child throughout the lands and seas.

Just cup your hands together and quietly whisper the names,

Peter Pan... Jack Frost...

And be sure you peek silently,

As both cheerfully soar across the starry night.
