The Day Seemed To Be Far From Coming *



Far from coming is the day waited anxiously with little minds
So high was the announcement that almost touched the sky
High expectation of the dawn of the day
Changed the atmosphere to that of graciousness
Everything seemed beautiful
Albeit the harsh side of the rising days of excitement

All the scarcities obliterated by the passing of the disciples
Food, laughter and beauty all over the earth and the skies
All the birds that seldom come and disappear into thin air
Came for a long haul
You could hear their sweet chirping amidst the summer bloom
The supply of sweets ubiquitous like the sweet smell of the happy corollas

Let alone the beautiful clothes bought from the low and high shops
We liked them equal like the sweets and the ever captivating presents
The anxiously awaited day dawned with madness
A crescendo of the high count of obstructive days
Little minds wished they did not hear of the misery day to come
But to be woken up by the dawn of the day and the magic bloom everywhere,

Under the blanket of bliss was the abundance of everything we needed
Little did we know that the excitement of the elderly is a mixture of beauty and ugliness
Accidents escalated before and beyond the dawn of the day by the cause of the elderly
Fights erupted all over the world by the cause of the elderly
All brakes of caution let loose by negligence and revelation in the exciting atmosphere
To kids it was a day that came and went leaving a nostalgic taste
So many questions in the little minds remained unanswered
