One Day You'll Grow Up

Looking back to the nostalgia..

One day when you'll grow up
You'll see these times in bits and pieces
When we'd stand upon tables in breaks
Or smuggle Tiffin boxes in between
Or laugh after scoldings
And fight for the best football
You'd share a laugh after reminscing
The times of full fledged singing
And midnight studying episodes
Or those subtle hints of exams hall
And that deafening silence of defeat
Those random teasings and leg pullings
You'll move yourself to tears
When you come across those old and dusty
Yet bright friendship bands and rings
And your farewell uniform
Which holds thousands of signatures
And millions of memories
When you'll miss those scrumptious dishes
And that food stealing episodes
And stuffing mouths while lectures going on
You'll miss those brutal morning assemblies
Where you'd stand with your friends
With hands raised as a punishment
But you're too little right now
And all of this seems to normal
It happens all the time and maybe
And some point you're just fed up of it
But trust me my love
You'll see these times in bits and pieces
One day when you're with your friends
Sharing a laugh about it
And you'd want to live those days again
The carefree lives one last time
But sadly that won't happen because
One day you'll grow up

Memories are a wonderful gift and also burdens sometimes. They make us feel want to go back to the past and be what we were and happy. Sometimes it makes us cry, laugh and everything that we could.
This is an amazing poem how we spent our school and college days. Wonderfully written. Thanks for sharing.

Such an amazing poem! Well, I'm still in school and I think you are, too. Maybe I'll experience this feeling of leaving everything behind that seemed so normal and simple, back then. A beautiful poem.

A flawless poetic composition nearly describing all that one does in school and also collage life ...
U can also mention about the efforts made during substitutions for P.E. periods

This poem really suits for those who will graduate this year. It will surely remind them that no matter how much they want to live or turn back their happy days again, it's impossible because time keeps on running and they have to grow up. Liked it.
