Cheerful Childhood Days
---------------------------------
The days spent in childhood, frolicking,
Wandering, making sandy homes near the sea
Days spent playing hide and seek, pranks aplenty
Days that we spent surprising all in the tiger skin
Days spent listening to songs that lull us to sleep
Sung by a granny dear lovingly drawing us near
Telling stories of valor, of king and fairy queens
Just when we play prank, away she would us wean
Time watching cartoons spent and in lot of reading
Ample comics and children story books a galore
All this happen merrily when as children we grow
Days seem not long that as a child we so joyfully spent
Playing mischief playing pranks as do we tiger pretend
Days in adulthood are too short running away in a jiffy
Days in old age, long painfully stay not to wither soon
Hatred, lust, greed clothe us soon as we pass a childhood
A life of a child is sweetly spent reminisce we all its tales
A life of a child is wonderful to tell as God too tend us well
We are in the sweet care of God, in the care of parents too
How lovely were those short days when worries kept aloof
How lovely were those days when love for all we did spill
How happy were the days then happily everything in joy ends
How sadly do I desire ever for those joyful days to never end
How keenly I love longing for those joyful days to soon return!

Dear Yashji
Today I got time to fulfill my promise to you and there I am with my snippets.
This is in turn for a promise made
That I wrote a verse on childhood days
I only feel great when I see my poem read!

Dear DSampathji
I am pleased to acknowledge your lovely comments.
Childhood Days
-----------------------
My friend is quick to send
His comments so sweet
For views that I lovingly vent
In verses on my blog small
One on the childhood days
Recalling the oblivious joy
When time we did not care
Playing absorbed in toys
