My Reminiscences

I remember! I remember!
A visit of mine to the place 
Where I was shaped;
And my skills were nurtured.
My unwritten registry flew back 
To the exquisite moments.

I remember! I remember!
The day I walked along with my dad
And felt happy as if it was a lovely tour. 
When he disclosed the bitter words
That I had to be there for a few years,
Tears welled out and formed clouds.
But I couldn’t say nay to him.

I remember! I remember!
I finished my schooling;
And it was the D-day,
I had to leave the golden threshold
Missing those boulders, trees, chirping birds and all...
Tears welled out...but differently.
It had given me enough;
And I could make out myself.
I remember! I remember!
