When children grow older,
Their toys hang around
As old memories.
And we as parents
Look at them wistfully,
Recalling all those
Soiled nappies,
Tearful visits
To paediatricians,
Struggles through creches,
Schools and PTMs.
Phew! So many challenges,
And of course, the happy days
That finally brought us
Here today.
Well, who knows,
The toys may just
Get reclaimed again...
A delicate free verse with delightful poetic expression! Loved reading this joyous poem.....10/10
The old toys may be reclaimed.Very nicely penned.10+++
मेरे वो पुराने खिलौने, जिन्हें देख कर, आज भी मेरा मन बच्चा बनने की इच्छा कर जाता।। मेरी भूली बिसरी यादों को यह ताजा जो कर जाता, कुछ अपनी कह जाता, कुछ मेरी सुन जाता । You revived my some old memories. Thankyou so much for sharing such a beautiful poem
In a nostalgic wave, you have nicely recalled several things which were essentially arranged along with the acts undertaken by parents to ensure their babies' comfort and normal, happy and healthy growth. Later on, when the children come of age, these things get stored in some nook of the house. The concluding lines assume a mystical tone. Thanks, Jasbir ji.

Children are very fond of toys. They play with these. Children love playing and we feel this truth. When they grow older these are hang up hither and dither. Sometimes they reclaim the toys. Great meaningful life shines with wonderful sensation. Memories are great for them. This poem is interestingly penned.
