Childhood


Twinkle twinkle johnny johnny..thats how my day began
Playing in dirt, living carefree, loved by every woman and man
The legend of childhood always lives..aah..those awesome years
The innocent love, the naughty truthful eyes..and the sweet tears.

The zestful honesty, the selfless selfishness and the character playfully magnanimous
If only we could have it back and more, thats a wish unanimous
The days when friends were made without any differentiation
The merry fights..and the sharing and caring without any hidden motivation

Being dressed as a superhero right now, imagine the taunts funny
But the kid version of us..would be cheered..even if dressed like bugs bunny
Ah! Those merry times, what to cook, what to eat, as such no tension
How to earn money, what career to choose, no such confusion

Look back at your childhood..the happy times are infinitely more
Even a dull day didnt lack any action..so many things to explore
Unfortunately not all kids have this luxury of childhood treat
Their day starts with the question..will we get something to eat?!

We as kids play on the roads..but these kids live on the roads
While we study in college..they work for food..some carry heavy loads
Their childhood is marred with the beatings of a drunkard
Else with the hugs from a father..who feels failure is the only word

With this message I end my words in 6 paras..6 is the first perfect number you see
While childhood is the perfect part of one's life..deprived of this awesomeness are many
We have had our share of childhood..share of love..the picture perfect
Its time to give the needy a healthy childhood..so that he lives with Respect !
