Childhood

The days are gone
when I used to live
the life of my own

Its been so long
but I still long for
my mother's goodnight songs

Sometimes I do have
glimpses of my past
my father helping me walk

I remember, I remember
the scolding of my teacher
and yet the way they adore

The jokes in between classes
the sharing of the lunch
and the wait for the cinema passes

The fun with my friends
and ringing of the bell
all my memorable school days

Now as I have grown
I feel so lost
missing those days of fun

Today Its like life without food
the only thing I crave for now
is my glorious childhood.

Author's Note

Childhood... The best of all times in our life...

It is very good to have those of memory of your childhood, Amitesh Rout, even though they cause you to miss the happiness, you should, and I know you do, treasure them. Not all children have those memories their thoughts of their childhood are dark. Enjoyed your poem.
