O Time! Take Me Back In Your Flight! ! Poem by Vinita Nahata

O Time! Take Me Back in Your Flight!

Make me again a child; at least for a while.

When we were lively and carefree;

Nothing used to make us worry,

Peace of mind;

No concept of time,

Fond memories of blissful childhood days;

When life was simpler in so many ways,

Reminiscing fondly
a million happy tales;

Laughing all the while at every which way,

Ignorance was bliss;

When did we become like this?

What happened; I do not know;

Maybe it was ‘grown up' what they call,

From ‘crying loudly' to ‘weeping quietly', we are grown up! !

From ‘believing in fairy tales' to ‘accepting the reality', we're grown up! !

From ‘broken toys' to ‘broken hearts', we're grown up! !

But when the innocent childhood departs;

It takes something from our hearts,

Wonder, where has the child been lost,

Is the childhood only to be framed on the walls of the hall?

O time! take me back in your flight!

Make me again a child, at least for a while.

Let me start once again,

Let me laugh till I ache,

Let me giggle; let me play,

Let me dance; let me sway,

Let me hop; let me skip,

Let me jump; let me jig,

Let me bounce into a puddle,

Let me blow some more bubbles,

Let me sleep with a smile on my lips,

And with a mind full of dreams! !

O time! take me back in your flight!

Make me again a child; at least for a while!
