Original Submission by Rohini Jaiswal

Those old happy day’s

Wont you come back

By anyways?

I remember how

I used to have great fun,

And my dear aunt

Use to make those tasty buns.

With my cousins

I enjoyed a lot,

And today I feel

Alone in this huge plot.

Those old happy day’s

I think of you

And gaze.

We used to have a

Sweet time in that large house

That looked very royal,

The house was even guarded

By a dog which

Was quite loyal.

In the beautiful garden

We used to play games,

But today all that

Amusement blew in flames.

Those old happy day’s

Please come back

With a fresh haze.

That time I found

Myself quite lucky,

As we all get together

To play hockey.

Such fascinating was the house

Belonging to my uncle,

But at present I feel

Isolated as if I am lost

In a jungle!
