#happymemories - Hello Poetry

There are times When I wish I could be a child again Because, as far as adulthood is concerned There is a lot of pressure and expectations And many complications as well Work, relationships, time, money, health The list is endless Also, let us not forget That I am a divorcee And yearning for a second marriage Or at least, some kind of romantic relationship And at the same time I have to deal with work as well Anyway, I wish I could be a child again Because my childhood was awesome Lots of love From my family, cousins and relatives Playing cricket with one of my close cousins Going on train trips with family Having fun with schoolmates Including enacting the part of a Japanese anime princess!! Playing chess with my maternal grandfather Watching the golden era of Sachin Tendulkar Listening to AR Rahman classics Watching the best movies of Superstar Rajinikanth Playing tennis with my father During my second visit to Mumbai And best of all Having a life free of tension and worries Except of course, as far as studies were concerned!! Well, there were bad times too For instance, the bullying I faced Which forced me to leave a renown school In the span of just one week!! Nevertheless, on the whole My childhood is something to be cherished forever And reflecting back on it as an adult I am filled with a sense of nostalgia Being a Potterhead, I wish I could use a Time Turner And go back in time In order to revisit all those fond memories in person Yes, I am not ashamed to say That I wish I could be a child again

I Wish I Could Be A Child Again

There are times When I wish I could be a child again Because, as far as adulthood is concerned There is a lot of pressure and expectations And many complications as well Work, relationships, time, money, health The list is endless Also, let us not forget That I am a divorcee And yearning for a second marriage Or at least, some kind of romantic relationship And at the same time I have to deal with work as well Anyway, I wish I could be a child again Because my childhood was awesome Lots of love From my family, cousins and relatives Playing cricket with one of my close cousins Going on train trips with family Having fun with schoolmates Including enacting the part of a Japanese anime princess!! Playing chess with my maternal grandfather Watching the golden era of Sachin Tendulkar Listening to AR Rahman classics Watching the best movies of Superstar Rajinikanth Playing tennis with my father During my second visit to Mumbai And best of all Having a life free of tension and worries Except of course, as far as studies were concerned!!

I wander down memory lane Crossing corn fields, climbing over farm gates Meandering through cobbled streets Golden sandals on my feet Tanned skin glowing, oh so brown Smiling, laughing never a frown I wander down memory lane Swimming in blue sea, climbing rocks, surfing in the choppy sea I have a feeling of being young and carefree Holding hands with my love, hands fit together like one soft glove I wander down memory lane Christmas tree standing tall, dropping needles on the floor Mulled wine warming on the stove Christmas tunes playing on the radio Wrapping presents for the children, while they sleep Presents wrapped, stored safely away from their keep I wander down memory lane This time a road trip to foreign lands Car packed full to the brim, clothes, games, buckets and spades Walking along glitzy promenades Dip our toes in the warm ocean, walk on golden sands Play mini golf, ride on a big dipper, have a late supper, go to the circus, catch a band I wander down memory lane To March and an usually warm sunny day My wonderful Dad by my side, i step out the car a smile a mile wide Todays the day I say i do for the rest of my days It all goes by so quickly and in a bit of a fuzzy warm haze I wander down memory lane Full of wonderful memories and happy days I wander down memory lane Just for a while The memories i recall making me smile Its lovely to wander even just for a while

Memory Lane

I wander down memory lane Crossing corn fields, climbing over farm gates Meandering through cobbled streets Golden sandals on my feet Tanned skin glowing, oh so brown Smiling, laughing never a frown I wander down memory lane Swimming in blue sea, climbing rocks, surfing in the choppy sea I have a feeling of being young and carefree Holding hands with my love, hands fit together like one soft glove I wander down memory lane Christmas tree standing tall, dropping needles on the floor Mulled wine warming on the stove Christmas tunes playing on the radio Wrapping presents for the children, while they sleep Presents wrapped, stored safely away from their keep I wander down memory lane This time a road trip to foreign lands Car packed full to the brim, clothes, games, buckets and spades Walking along glitzy promenades Dip our toes in the warm ocean, walk on golden sands Play mini golf, ride on a big dipper, have a late supper, go to the circus, catch a band I wander down memory lane To March and an usually warm sunny day My wonderful Dad by my side, i step out the car a smile a mile wide Todays the day I say i do for the rest of my days It all goes by so quickly and in a bit of a fuzzy warm haze I wander down memory lane Full of wonderful memories and happy days I wander down memory lane Just for a while The memories i recall making me smile Its lovely to wander even just for a while

Saturday afternoon at about half past three I would settle down in front of the tv My Gran and Grandad in their chairs watching Lucille Ball Show or Fred Astair At 17 45 the football scores would be read My Grandad checking them off one by one Chasing 24 points the top score, fingers crossed for a score draw, eight of them would set you right Ah this week its out of sight, better luck next week, we'll try again My Gran would always bake, buns or a cake Coffee was my choice of drink with Coffeemate instead of milk I was posh I would think A slice of sponge to go along I can hear my Gran say "are you going to have a slice today" Then she would always add" there's 3 eggs in there" I would smile and say please Gran after all It was Saturday and all was right with the world.

3 Eggs in that there

Saturday afternoon at about half past three I would settle down in front of the tv My Gran and Grandad in their chairs watching Lucille Ball Show or Fred Astair At 17 45 the football scores would be read My Grandad checking them off one by one Chasing 24 points the top score, fingers crossed for a score draw, eight of them would set you right Ah this week its out of sight, better luck next week, we'll try again My Gran would always bake, buns or a cake Coffee was my choice of drink with Coffeemate instead of milk I was posh I would think A slice of sponge to go along I can hear my Gran say "are you going to have a slice today" Then she would always add" there's 3 eggs in there" I would smile and say please Gran after all It was Saturday and all was right with the world.

Mischievious whimsy, knee high flare Loosely lifted On warm summer sighs Pink on paleness Lilting with each Light step Of bare feet On burnt grass. Dainty matchstick Wrists, turned quick And ringed with daisies That drop their petals Like wishes. Hair all caught sun And caught sky Above cheeks The colour of flowers.

Summer Girl

Mischievious whimsy, knee high flare Loosely lifted On warm summer sighs Pink on paleness Lilting with each Light step Of bare feet On burnt grass. Dainty matchstick Wrists, turned quick And ringed with daisies That drop their petals Like wishes. Hair all caught sun And caught sky Above cheeks The colour of flowers.
