It wasn't long ago...

It wasn't long ago...

that I sat in the school
because I couldn’t tie

the little lace of my shoes-
my biggest problem to solve then…

It wasn't long ago...
that I complained in the bus
for not giving me
a seat next to window-
my best love to do then…

It wasn’t long ago…
that I swung on the gate
watching the band march
with its music so loud-
my best dream to be then…

It wasn’t long ago…
that I walked up the hills
to find little berries
that coloured my tongue purple
My pastime game to play then…

Problems changed…
Love transformed…
Dreams altered…
Games renamed…
What costumes of life...!!
