There was a time when
Toys never failed to amuse me
Flowers would always thrill me
There was a time when
I was always ready for a game
Or for any trick you name.
There was a time when
It was fun in a drama to act
And wait breathlessly for the audience to react
Or even to take part in a song
And be thrilled when the applause went for long!
There was a time when
It was fun to bunk some classes
To see a movie that thrilled us lasses
There was a time when
Beautiful dresses were a necessity
And you know how soon
fashions change in a city.
There was a time when
Jewels never failed to fascinate me
And dreams of a beautiful future
would always haunt me.
There was a time when
It took so little to make me happy
Those were the days my friend
I thought they would never end!

Sujata, the hardships of life certainly takes its toll over time. Little by little we lose that zest for life... Great poem, many of us can relate! ! Brian
