A journey down the memory lane

This poem by me is describing how wonderful those days of childhood were and how much i miss it

When I look at those kids coming to school,
Trembling and reluctant to leave mom's hand,
I get very emotional,
Because I remember my own days.

How wonderful those days were,
When we loved everyone
And everyone loves us.

How happy we were at that time,
When we played all day and night.
Really those days were awesome,
When meaning of stress was unknown.

Now when i look on my broken toys ,
I really cry hard,
Because those days won't be back.

I wish we would never grow old,
Because in this world people are full of stress and worries,
There are very less reasons of being happy,
Now more than enjoying present,
We ponder over mistakes of past,
And what will happen in future.

I just wish we could go back to past,
A big dream it has become,
Those memorable days of childhood

Your poem portrays a version of childhood that many people may have experienced, but I will guess that many also did not. Coming from an abusive home, my childhood was not idyllic, as you’ve painted here. Just want to mention that, to balance out your sunny view of things. You speak in your poem as if everyone lived this kind of childhood, so I want to point out some of us hate to remember our childhoods. Maybe you can remember that your story isn’t everyone’s story. But you do convey the type of childhood that many love to remember, just the way you’ve remembered it here with affection & that comes across with sincerity (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

these lines had my attemtion. how honest, and realistic the tapestry of ur work is. kinda like it! when we're kid... we are even so far from the doom of actual hate, jealousy and sin.. but as we're so stepped down to the thrones of this "unfaithful" world, we come to know the parameters of reality that's neva been that "befriended" with realness of life at all. quite a heartfelt poetry it is. u must start working on a book based on "childhood". really would like to read it someday.

ps.
if need any help, give me the chance to help u write a novel. would be a pleasure for me. it'd be fun writing, i guess. do think about it, pragya.

Thank so much

Certainly can't disagree with any of your poem.
Sort of feel sorry for today's kids.
I don't think they actually believe we went out early to play, and returned late. Good days.

It's funny how when we were kids we wanted to grow up and now when we are elder enough for responsibilities we want to be a kid again. I always enjoy the poems which reminisce childhood.

this reminds me of my NY days, then the move to Illinois...the adjustments, the new kids i met...new friends, and how i missed the old ones, forever...

had a pretty good childhood, overall---as well as high school and college experiences in the 50's and 60's

and i often wish to go back there.

I usually enjoy your work, and this one is up to your usual standards. But I have been pondering age and youth a lot lately...while I would wish someone was paying my bills, the knowledge I have now, whether from good or bad experiences, I treasure as much as my cats! Seriously, I had a normal and completely uneventful childhood, and apparently you did too. However, the more I read here, on the news and other sources too, too many children do not and they are broken way too young to heal properly. I don't have self esteem issues, my struggles have been primarily disappointment in those I needed or trusted. But I am stronger than I ever would have imagined at 12, 16 or even 18. If I have any talents or skills, they are excellent because I worked at it. I am realizing that I may be in the best place of my life to date. Of course, vanity wishes for firmer skin, less grays that have to be colored more and more frequently, but the big picture? I am smart, capable, funny and have a knowledge of human nature that surpasses many to include my age group. Sorry about all this, but your piece just fell right into my thought processes of the last few days and I just needed to get it out there.
Again, the piece is good, yours always are, but this one struck a nerve in me today.
