The days gone by 
in thorns scattered 
i stepped ignorantly. 
tears dropped, wetting my cheeks 
reminiscing those days gone by 
when i wished things could be set aright. 
 
nature’s son was i 
in her bosom i cried. 
 
i prayed for the release 
from bonds that clutched me. 
 
i knew time will soon fly 
leaving traces of youth behind. 
 
too soon things went by 
those moments i will never regain. 
 
priority set 
goals made. 
 
studies ablaze 
along….pain sets a gaze. 
and the joy enjoyed as a small boy 
lost in youth 
but in man, am drawing it again 
hopes dangle afar, but try 
i shall try. 
gone are the days......
