Rhyme time
Those wonderful days

As I walk up the ladder

And wave goodbye to yet

another year

I remember those days

And miss the way they were

The running in the streets

Behind totally unknown things

Running with friends, as if we were flying

As if we had wings

The screaming and shouting

And playing in the middle of the so familiar ground

And squealing with delight on getting the best ice-creams flavours

Whether triangular, rectangular or sometimes even round

And relishing every moment and every flavour

Of the, oh! so wonderful times

Relishing them as if they weren’t only a part of my life

But also had the melodious music of the chimes

And now as I look down my memory ladder

Remembering every such moment of my childhood

And locking them in my mind

I think about those times as the best, not just good
