Memories Of Childhood

Those were the days of joy!

When all we desired was a simple toy

Throwing tantrums and crying aloud,

Nagging for it till the parent bowed

Down to our wishes and fulfilled the need

Bearing everything, whether we cried or peed

Weren't those days so delightful?

Those bright smiles and faces cheerful.

That nonsense babble and carefree attitude

When all our actions were dependent on our mood

We jumped and hopped from place to place.

No matter what they said; determined to be a menace

Where has that childhood gone?

Thinking of it makes me mourn

Of the times when I had nothing to worry,

When I wore pyjamas and my slippers furry.

When I was tucked in my bed,

And switching off the light, my mom said

"Good Night Darling! Sweet dreams!"

And kissed my head as I grinned.

Those days make me wish I'd never grown up.

And stayed the same with nothing to worry and no one to match up.
