Childhood
In the far corner of a room one night,
A child sat with a toy black and white,
The toy bought a smile so wide,
For her it was better than a box with gold inside.
Next morning as the day changed,
The toy was thrown into a dark place,
For now, its owner had grown older
And her world was surrounded by books and decisions bolder.
What seemed like a thousand years to the toy,
The cupboard was finally opened by a woman aged thirty- five,
As she held the toy in her hand,
She got lost in the memories of her childhood land.
The toy bought sweet memories to her mind,
Better than jewels of any kind,
Childhood is a sweet phase of life,
So, enjoy it as much as you can.
