Childhood
Childhood
Childhood is the best gift,
As we grow older it drifts;
When we go down the memory lane,
We see ourselves so insane.
When we were kids,
We did a lot of weird deeds;
Never had to worry about the future,
Parents were always there to nurture.
Our every mistake was forgiven,
No emotion we kept hidden;
When we were born, looking in our eyes,
Our parents happily cried.
Getting toys and chocolates was the only wish,
Even little things seemed so lavish;
Mind was at the height of imagination,
We did everything with full determination.
Simplicity was everything that defined us,
Unknowingly we made fuss;
Still, we were happy,
Because mind was full of fantasy.
Eavesdropping on our surprises,
Getting gifts gave us a lot of happiness;
Just a hug from mother,
Made every injury and hurt lesser.
Then came the teenage,
Which heightened love and rage;
We fell in love, we fell apart,
But always listened to the heart.
Adolescence was never easy,
Falling for someone, worrying about things kept us busy;
Worrying about the career,
Sometimes gave chills and fever.
Adulthood came with responsibilities,
That made us realize our capabilities;
Marriage, children and work became reality,
Still had to hold on to our morality.
Old age gave a flashback of memories,
We realized life is full of possibilities;
The fear of disease and death came over,
Our bodies got confined to one chamber.
Remembering childhood we thought,
If we had one more life we would do a lot;
Indeed childhood is never forgotten,
That phase of life was golden.
