Memories of childhood...
Such a wonderful, hazy, warm feeling,
Special memories, filled with love
come welling up, and send my senses reeling.
Aromatic fragrance, wafting up from the kitchen,
Aroma of my mothers cooking,
Father getting ready for work,
How handsome he is looking.
I'm ready for school, hair plaited,
Clutch my older sister's hands tightly.
Bags perched securely on our backs
and off we go, skipping lightly.
Lessons and studies, diligently done,
Supervised by mom, but always fun,
Carefree, happy times were those
one could do.
The familiar house, and the close kinship,
So many friends, and closely knit friendship,
No cares, no worries, they were not for us, Only love and protection, and a special fuss.
What wonderful years I can never forget,
A happy childhood is an important asset
And now we are grown...
Only memories are left...
When we are feeling down, or nostalgic,
Just go back to those magical years...
Relive those times, that sparkling innocence,
That time, devoid of from doubt and fears
Oh childhood...so quickly did you fly
your very memory makes us sigh...
And remember, smile and feel contented
for the Godgiven wonderful years, so well spent.
