I Can Still Remember
I Can Still Remember
With sound of water, our excitement grew,
The trickles and splashes, flows and washes,
We jumped, we laughed, on each other we threw,
I can still remember our fun in the marshes.
Now world has made my life narrow,
The cubicles and chairs, screens and spectacles,
The happiness now from pictures I borrow,
I now manage fun carrying fancy baubles.
That ground has served its purpose already,
The contracts and papers, roads and skyscrapers,
Things have been made organized and steady,
I now serve my senses with beautiful wallpapers.
When I see the kids jumping in garden,
The free and simples, tree and dimples,
The memories back, things they harden,
I can still remember the falling apples.
I crave again for the good old days,
The flowers and fairies, games and glories,
Wish I could do what heart says,
If I could still create my own stories.
