Flashes of Childhood
"How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood"
Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842
I remember my good old childhood days ~
feasting on fresh fruits, playing indoor games,
sharing home made meals - memory that stays!
Calling each other by naughty nicknames,
driving to nearby districts for weddings;
frozen in mind, those indelible frames!
Attending all cottage prayer meetings,
learning to cycle mid falls and bruises,
being on time for thanksgiving greetings;
playing catch with friends, fights and excuses,
watching cartoons, Shaktimaan* episodes;
we were free from worries and abuses!
Family together time at crossroads ~
that's what I recall as flashback implodes.
