The bygone days of my childhood reflect many memories,
Those were filled with fun and frolic and were without worries,
I used to play with my siblings and friends by forgetting the world,
It was that innocence infancy phase where every emotion, I used to uncurl.
Play and enjoy every bit of life were the two aspects of my childhood,
Never had any hostility nature for anyone as that was my amazing girlhood,
I used to go with my father and sister everywhere on his cycle,
I had adopted great integrity from my father by becoming his great disciple.
Playing with cloudburst by making paper boats and singing lovely rhymes,
Jumping, screaming and drenching, I used to spend time by making my life sublime,
At school, I used to exchange tiffin boxes and was playing outdoor games,
Participated in various events in school and brought great name and fame.
Childhood had brought enough memories of school and college,
Entered to a beautiful lovely phase of teenage after my sinless nonage,
Heart and mind were filled with new hopes and aspirations,
New thoughts and ideas were emerging from brain those were beyond imaginations.
I was a mini teacher and a facilitator for my friends who were weak in studies,
Never dawdle during school hours by being disciplined and that was my pride,
My grandpa’s amazing stories and his unconditional love towards me,
Made my life happier and more contended and imbibed good values in me.
Some moments of childhood when I recall, I only get trauma and sadness,
Can’t even forget those scars given by time and life, which is my badness,
Some conditions and phases were filled with immense pleasure,
Those memories are deeply ingrained my heart and are my life’s great treasure.
After the college study, I used to rush towards the field towards my mom,
I used to ask her about food and her replies were making to stay numb,
She used to tell me, learn how to cook and serve food for yourself,
As “you are a girl”, you won’t be getting that of luxury for yourself.
In childhood phase, I was not able to understand the love and care of my parents,
But now I when reflect those sad memories, my heart actually torments,
My childhood was an amalgamation of happy and sad moments,
I just want to love life and enjoy each and every enchanting moment.
