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......
