O Childhood

O childhood,

Where have you gone?

It feels like just a week ago

I was born.

O childhood,

Is this really your rule?

It feels like just six days ago,

It was my first day at school.

O childhood,

Why did you ever end?

It feels like just five days ago,

I made my first friend.

O childhood,

To come back, can you please try?

It feels like just till just four days ago,

Together we would laugh and cry.

O childhood,

Can I get one more shot at you, just a glance?

It seems like till just three days ago,

Hand-in-hand we would dance.

O childhood,

Why do you, like this, make me feel?

It seems like till just two days ago,

We would all share our meal.

O childhood,

To love and hatred, can I change your name?

It seems like till just yesterday,

We would fight and love each other all the same.
