This is a short poem on  my childhood and how I long for it now..

A trip down the memory lane,

To the best part of our lives.

Wistfully now we look at it,

Can't believe it's come and passed.

Innocence would drip from us

 And flow in all directions,

Melting the hearts of everyone,

Of every young and adult.

Those were the days,

When the mind was clear,

When the heart was clear.

Where the mind would learn,

Where the heart would learn.

Mind filled with knowledge,

Heart filled with love.

Heart full of art,

And mind full of heart.

Thinking of it is so redolent

And fills me up with reminiscence.

If only the world could stay the way it was back then,

Life would be so blissful and so content.

Filled with light,

Filled with joy.

Flying high,

Full of life.
