Theme : Chilhood Memories

Nestled in mother’s lap ‘neath the full moon,

I’d listen to enchanting tales with glee,

Her lullabies wrapped me in a cocoon,

In her calm eyes, my world I chose to see,

Tethering to dreams how I felt merry,

My trivial wants and needs–quite simple,

Blissful were those days when I was little,

Rewinding the past, now I seek solace,

Dreary is adulthood –a grim battle,

Pleasures simple seem lost in the rat race.
