Missing Those Days
Into my childhood, a little sweet memory
When summer vacations used to be fun
Impatient at last exam day
Thrilled, overjoyed to go
To meet grandma and grandpa at our native place
Train journey making it more exciting
A night's train travel would take us in the morning
To grandma's house - grandpa with smiling face
Would take us inside with gait slow
Holidays spent full play
With cousin brothers reaching, more mischief begun
After dinner, time for grandpa's story
Every morning after breakfast we would hurry
To go out and play under the hot sun
From garden, a short walk away
A few stone steps below
We had our own house pond at a vast lush green space
Where we enjoyed much swimming and playing
