Dream Toy!

Walking through the streets

Of the town, I was brought up in

I saw that shop again

I saw that toy again

As a nomadic kid growing up

In that small but beautiful town

That shop was opened up

Seeking my attention like a clown

The reason! Oh it was damn easy

The story wasn't all that breezy

That toy! I always wanted to buy

That toy! I just could never buy

There were daily doses of dreams

That I have the toy in my hands

Only to wake up through the creams

With the thought of toy in the trends

Time passed and life caught on

The town was left far behind

Some maturity was brought on

With all the work and its grind

In the exams which life took daily

I got through both failures and success

Though new dreams came happily

Old ones paid off like taxes with cess

But then here I was again finally

In the town which too had grown

The shop brought a smile naturally

This particular time, I had won

The toy was there still alluring

One of the old wishes was live again

The line between me and toy started blurring

And the toy was bought without any strain

With that, the toy became a possession prized

At least one of the old dreams well-realized

No matter how big or small it was actually

Just that at last, it was fulfilled finally
