Growing up !!

Despair all around, no smiles to be found,

Gone are the days to merry around.

The gusty winds have lost their galore,

The shining sun has now made us numb.

Memories left, nothing to connect,

Moving ahead with a lot to regret.

This is how we all have become,

A lot to say but words don’t come.

The lushing green fields, the huge grounds,

All are past with nothing to be found.

No merry-go-rounds, no running around,

A lonely room with a noise so profound.

No aching feet, no fight for the jelly,

Just big meals left with no desire in belly.

No more crying, no more friendly relying,

Doing everything on own and friends denying.

No more sharing of thoughts, no more long-long walks,

Busy with a life full of tension and surprise.

No more day dreaming, no more naughty pranks,

This is how life pays us back without saying thanks.

If this is growing up, then I don’t want to grow,

Give me back the life I once used to throw…

Give me back the life I once used to throw…
