Childhood

By Vidur Khanna, (VII)

Childhood is that time of happiness,
Where the burdens of the world are not there;
A child only has the power of innocence,
At which Adults stare.
Childhood is that period when you can learn more,
You can learn and learn and learn;
Till your brain is actually sore.
A child is always eager to learn,
But only the things he doesn’t mind;
And once he’s wonder-eyed with something,
He will do it despite the grind.
In childhood everybody is carefree,
Unaware of the troubles of the world;
Playful and guileless is he,
Till his problems are unfurled.
But once they reach adulthood,
They crave for the years gone by;
But time never comes back to anyone,
However much you may cry.
