Take me back to those days

Take me back to those yester years,

Where I was filled with joy and fervour.

The good old days of laughter and mirth,

Of books and burdens lost in earth.

Take me back into the fond memories,

Of those I loved and who loved me back,

Take me to that time, where I was free,

Of freedom in speech and deeds decreed.

Take me back to that gentle time,

Where I was cared and not adjudged.

Take me to the days,I cursed to be gone,

for they are the fonder memories bygone.

I live in present weighed down by thoughts,

Of troubled senses and burdened lot.

Shackled by duties and wants of others,

I know not how to repose my tethers.

Take me to the place I once frequented,

With joy and peace alongside my brother.

Take me to the place I lost a game,

For a folly too humble to remind my name.

Take me back in time and place

Take me back and nestle me there.
