By-Gone Days Poem by shakil ahmed

By-Gone Days

Suddenly I discover that
I have lost my childhood
The happy by-gone days of my life
When I used to remain in joyous mood.

These days are now only fond memory
Creating nostalgic feelings in the mind
Allure me to an old world
Where only joy and happiness reign.

I used to speak truth in those days
Lying was unknown to my nature
I was easy and straight forward
Hypocrisy was to me an alien culture.

I was in a different world
Free from horror and anxiety
Frequently I remember these happy days
The by-gone days of my life.

Still I remember the lovely tales,
Told by my mother,
In the cold night of December,
Before going to slumber.

Is there any one? Who can bring me back
These happy days once again
Where I will love and play
And spend my days without pain
