Childhood Days
My childhood days
Are my golden rays
When I'm now whining
I feel my childhood smiling
No beating , No pain
No knowledge about cheating , always our reign
We spent our days crying
And whatever we asked our parents kept buying
We played and played - for day and night
And our eyes were always bright
Our eyes spoke of mischief
Our hands held a kerchief
No books , No burdens
Talkative as the youth brooks , as we had pardons
No one ever thought of scolding us
Even though we made a big a fuss
Our innocent faces saved us
But not today , which shows us
Born in a cradle
Fed with a ladle
I wore mittens
Similar to those worn by the 3 little kittens
I knew no one
Except my pa and mum
I was shy
As I did not know with colors I could fly
I loved those times
I grew with rhymes
I was free like a bird
Even in the family herd
But schools spoiled my joy for ever
In the first two stages of kindergarten I enjoyed very clever
The third stage showed me what hell was
And grew as a greater hell in every class
Bags and bags
All those nasty rags
I wish I could go back to my childhood
I can't , but in my school I can enjoy Brotherhood
It would be wonderful to be in our own world
And its possible only in our childhood days
Always cherish your childhood memories.....
which are golden ......
