Good Old Days.....

Rating: 5.0


Sitting on an arm chair still
Watching the beautiful setting sun
Unmindful of the winter chill
I tried something in my mind for fun

A few words came drifting in
Playing with memories of boy hood days
And my lips opened with a grin
To sing the song of carefree ways

Ways that a bare foot boy did roam
Behind butterflies of every hue
Standing on the beach to watch the foam
And every moment was worth its due

What wonderful days were they
Each worth their weight in gold
And as I now see the trees in sway
I do not regret the part of getting old.........

A Beautiful poem on childhood days recollecting all those sweet memories, where its each worth weigh in gold. Yes, they were the golden days which can never be returned back. As the old age picks its ways, we have to accept it as it is. Loved reading it.

I have been reading so much these days of minds surrendering to gloom. How refreshing and wonderful your sentiments are. I think that it is a shame that this poem is not read widely. Thank you! Your writing is light and breezy and captures the essence of a life well lived..........but far from over.
