Nothing is lost..

Gone are those days,

Where the books are all closed

Up in the shelves

Pens have dozed

All by themselves

But my eyes are wide open

Gazing the colours

 Till the schools reopen!

Gone are those days,

When each dawn had a new friend for me

Pushing each other into that muddy pool

Yet sprinkling all the smiles

And hands were only for hugs

Gone are those days,

Chirruping of those birds delighted me

Winking of flowers made me laugh

Lips chanted only ‘mother’

Loneliness made me play

Bees recited poems

Longings made me walk

Lost….

But not forever

Days live, Friends live, birds live….

So do the child in me
