Ah! My Childhood... Poem by Sourabh Mishra

There was a time,
when I used to be happy,
used to smile and see
the world around me.

The beauty of nature
was a pleasure to me.
playing with cute puppies and birds
was fun to me.

Those happy days are gone,
gone away.
now everything around me,
seems to be dark and grey.

I am always sad and demented with worry,
full of tension and in hurry.
There is no smile on my face.
Life has become a harness race.

Ah! I wish
I could be a child again.
Could play and run
with my friends once again.

Ah! my childhood
where are you.
I miss those days.
I cry for you.
