Simple Times (Scholarship)

There was a time in everyone's life when
Magic
Was an acceptable answer
Imagination
Ruled your world
And wishes
Were made on stars
When everyone's dream was to be president
When secrets were about who you liked
A time when anything was possible
When pain
Was a scraped knee
Fights
Were about which superhero was better
And fear
Was that a monster was under your bed
When nightmares could be fixed with a hug
When punishment was sitting in a corner
A time when you wished to grow up faster
Now it's the time you want back
