When I look at the past

Some memories of our childhood.

WHEN I LOOK AT THE PAST

When I look at the past I see,
How happy we all used to be,

No demands, no regrets,
So much proud on little achievements which we used to get,

Laughing with our lungs out,
What else was friendship about?

Running recklessly, screaming ferociously,
Not caring about the future,
Love, compassion, care and friendship , we used to nurture,

When I look at the past I see,
All the things that I wanted to be,

A pilot, a president, a player, a doctor,
But deep down , mowgli was my favourite character,

We were senseless and careless,
But wanted to care and help the homeless,

Innocent face, clumsy shape, shabby , tattered clothes
Look here mommy , we made a paper ship, which smoothly floats,

When I look at the past I see,
How amazing our childhood used to be.

This is really cute, and I especially liked the last line about how childhood was amazing. I think that people these days are more pessimistic in remembering childhood (some rightly so), but it's more common to see things that put down the past, saying "childhood ruined." I love how this really captures the brightness of the past and the innocence of childhood.
One thing that I personally thing could be improved on in the future is the flow of the poem; this one just isn't my style but maybe it is yours. Just in little parts, it feels very stop-and-go rather than smooth. But I love it anyway. Good job!

Childhood, that part of our lives almost all of us want back but can't have, no fears, no regrets, no real responsibilities, total bliss, the past has been the best part of life, for some of us, I don't know if the present or the future will ever top it. Nicely written, keep on writing.

Childhood is the astounding period of a life which is looked upon as the best part... No one can roll-back the time...
Brilliantly penned... Keep writing !!
