My Little Town Poem by Jay P Narain

My distant little town lies overseas in a dusty corner,
once it was my center of the universe,
a place where I spent my innocent childhood growing days,
a place where I always wanted to come back.

Rising early I treaded its dusty tracks,
the vivid colors of sunrise enchanted my imagination,
the songs of bird filled my heart with melodious inspiration,
the fruits and berries I tasted, left inside me the everlasting sweet sensation.

Whether it was a blistery hot day,
or when the heavens broke loose on a sweaty rainy day,
I and my friends enjoyed the games we played every day,
every step we took, brought a new perspective in our growing days.

After many years I am visiting my little town,
What was once a little has become big town,
The thawed visions of yester years are facing new reality,
The changes I may despise, but the past memories will remain with me in eternity.
