If I Could Go Back Collaboration

I wished so hard to be adult;
a fairy heard my wish and then
I whooshed through time and now I'm old...
but long to be a child again...

for Charles' if i could go back contest

Jack, I have to agree with Paul, these lines you've added are priceless and a perfect fit. I didn't know where in the poem it was meant to be and it would have ranked higher if you added the rest of the poem. But a wonderful addition none the less and definitely worthy of a placement. Thanks for entering my contest and many Congrats. All the best...Charlie

These are four priceless lines, Jack! Most of us can relate to them. It's a pity that fairies are not always available when truly needed:) Regards // paul
