Memory Lane

I walked down the street, trying to remember it all,

But not seeing a single thing that I could recall.

The neighborhood wasn't what it used to be,

Alongside the road, there were no Jamun trees.

There were no houses older than a few years,

Nothing could remind me of my childhood fears.

Then I saw it, something I could finally recognize,

Standing there, our house, like a sight for sore eyes.

It hadn't changed with time, it had stayed the same,

A little rundown, it was a home to which I came.

Sighing, as I took the trip down memory lane,

I remembered the innocent smiles and not the pain.

I was home, at last, after longer than I care to admit,

I was here to stay, but as a winner and not a misfit.
