I wish, I could be a child again..
Reminiscing my childhood domain,
Fun, laughter, frolic and sweet pain,
I wish, I could relive those moments again,
Oh, how I wish I could be a child again.
Friendly chatter, pleasant and innocent banter,
Simple jokes, belly hurting laughter,
A small radio or a mobile transistor,
Ever satiating our recreational hunger..
I wish I could go back in memory lane,
Oh, how I wish, I could be a child again.
Chasing dreams of flying a plane,
Or even thinking of driving “BIG” trains,
Going up and down in the lifts, over and again,
I wish, I could grow up once again,
Oh, how I wish I could be a child again !
No fancy toys, just games insane,
Be it sunshine, wind or rains,
Floating paper boats, in puddles of water in lanes,
I wish, my present, were as simple and plain,
Oh, how I wish I could be a child again.
No phone ring-ring, no remotes for channel surfing,
No laptops, I-pads or mobiles for time passing,
We delved in our confused thoughts, curious minds tossing,
Taking us to the crossroads of life without an idea or inkling,
I wish, I could continue with the “NO STRESS” chain,
I wish I could be a child again !

Ah! Same feelings here, Ma’am! I wish I was a child once again, things were simpler then. Going to school was the biggest responsibility ever.
