The stages of Life are quite interesting and the Golden days of childhood are the most precious of all. What we experience between the Golden and the olden days is a challenge of course but the echo of childhood lingers on….
**
How quick the days pass
I am sure it is a terrible loss
Yes, it is very much true,
That time stops for no one though
Childhood bids goodbye
When adulthood takes a step by.
Though I am not ready to accept
Still, what more can I expect
Not that I have to live more
But, I want those days once more
I could remember many of those days
Though I am not old for all these says
It was my childhood, it was my treasure
That gave me a lot of pleasure
From family gatherings at the feasts
To playing with friends on the streets.
Get away from that TV, will you?
Grumbles my granny adjusting her view
Why don’t you get out and play,
Get home before dark, never forgets to say
When holidays come, tons of kids come
Then pranks we play and have lot of fun.
Come in or no sweet, mom calls,
When lunch time comes flying with flowers
‘That’s not out’ and we would quarrel,
So bad that it sounds like a barrel
When ‘Katti’, declared a friend,
Sharing is what he actually meant
Now when I look here and there,
No one, but it is all clear
This is what adulthood brings,
All its way, though it sings.
