Childhood

By Aahna Rawat

I think that I shall never see,

A time as lovely as a childhood dream.

A childhood which had a hungry mind,

With thoughts swinging like a grape wine,

A childhood where when life gets rough,

You can always play to pretend that you're tough,

A childhood where there were no fears,

And the broken toys were the only reason to shed tears,

A childhood where no one was judged,

Where all the pains were gone by a mother's hug,

A childhood where Santa did exist,

Where your dad's the one bringing you all the gifts,

A childhood where people didn't change,

And your friends were all the same,

Some days I wish I could go back in life,

Not to change anything but to feel a few things twice,

But maybe now it's time to move on,

Explore the world and make a life of my own,

Those memories shall always remain entrenched in my heart,

The childhood filled with love and laughter shall always be my part.
