When I Was A Child Poem by zainab salim

When I was a child
I was my parent favorite
When I used to smile
The sun and the skies would shine
When I used to cry
The trees and leaves would dry
When I used to sing
The birds would sing along
When I used to go to bed
The moon would look so sad
What a happy child I was
Anyone can imagine.

Later on,
I grown up to a beautiful young lady
Sad and very lonely
The world treated me so badly
Because life became so tough
That was when,
Everything changed then.

While I used to cry
My tears could no more dry
No time for love
No one made a close move
I was freezing inside
Empty hands were outside
Finding who to pass me hi
All faces, even my own parent were saying goodbye.
