Bygone Golden Days

BYGONE GOLDEN DAYS I reminisce, I miss my long-lost childhood days when miseries, worries, complexities of life were completely unknown. Simple life circulated in safe carefree zone. I reminisce, I miss my bygone golden days When dynamic life flaunting multiple activities in challenging channels running ceaseless continuous. Time management was so hard! Now old age offering ample time with no work. Grown up children lead lives leaving their childhood in my lap. Days turning bleaker, bitter, dull, gloomy, desolate. I reminisce, I miss closeness of emotional bonds, I shared with my parents, Grandparents, and intimate friends. If only once I could meet them! Those fervent feelings now to sigh! I reminisce, I miss My ardent amour, once reciprocated, now sank and settled in abyss of memories left behind, could not rewind. I reminisce, I miss. 04/08/21 Third Place 'I reminisce, I miss' Contest by James Edward Lee Sr. First Place 'A Brian Strand July 22' Contest by Brian Strand
