Where songs and love <br />And carefree spirit reigned. <br /> <br />Where pencils and paper <br />Would be enough. <br /> <br />Where waiting <br />Wouldn't be a death. <br /> <br />Where worlds <br />Could be shades of darkness. <br /> <br />Where hearts and minds <br />Were valued above. <br /> <br />Where sound <br />Was not a burden. <br /> <br />Where effort <br />Was plentiful and helpful. <br /> <br />Where easier <br />Wasn't always better. <br /> <br />Where days weren't <br />Wasted away. <br /> <br />Where creativity <br />Was something useful. <br /> <br />Where magic <br />Was something different. <br /> <br />That's where I want to be. <br />Why is that not now?<br /><br />Bette Kayley Jones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-is-that-not-now/
