Sarita Khullar
When I am unable to sleep at night,
And day takes ages to dawn,
My heart takes me to the lanes,
Where I spent my days bygone,
Long , unkempt hair or a ponytail,
A lovely frock getting small and small,
Hopping or jumping or playing ball,
Running around till about to fall.
Arguing over trifles and forgetting soon,
Slipping out in hot afternoon,
Ravaging every fruit tree all around,
Will not stop till scolded sound.
Pretending to study in a silent space,
Sharing our stories of the school that fade,
Laughing at teachers,mocking class mates,
Falling silent again at father’s voice enraged.
Laughing softly , talking ever so slow,
Our faces had the loveliest glow.
Long lost is the love and togetherness,
That we shared in our childhood home.
Those lovely days and blessed nights,
Sleeping soundly after play or fights,
Wish those carefree days are back,
To compensate for love and sleep I lack.
Childhood days were beautiful…. I feel sad that kids today dont have the carefree times we had.
We were certainly lucky.Thanks Jaya
So beautiful, Ma’am. 💚
Of all the things of childhood and adolescence, I miss my dear grandparents the most. 💚
Thanks Moonmoon, I have mentioned my grandma in my poem Father. There is another that I have written about her. Will find and share.
I shall look it up, ma’am. I have written only one poem about my grandma, and none about my grandfather, since I have taken to writing poetry very recently. I do wish to write many poems about them and my childhood, in the near future. ❤️💚💚💚
Please do. I will look forward to that
