There was a child wentforth

The first two lines of this poem hit home for me a lot. When I was a kid, I used to play pretend all the time. Whether it was by myself or with my friends that's just what I did. I live right next to a big park, and I used to go there every day with my friend Benji and we would stay there for hours just playing game after game. That's what it really means to be a kid. You let your imagination run wild. I only had to read 2 lines of this poem to connect and this is where my mind took me when I read those lines. My imagination was the way I would spend my days.
