There was a Time .. .. ..

There was a Time when we all were Together
Sharing our Thoughts & Lives, that we will do forever n ever
Surrounded by Happiness & Love of the Dears
Life went on, like that for those wonderful Years.

Priorities & needs, everything was fixed
Nothing could make out Love & Feelings Jinxed
We were different beings, but connected to a Single Soul
We were all the same, but we had different Goals.

We were happy in our own small way
Managing with whatever was there whether Bread or Hay
Not thinking of the riches other people had
Cause these Riches, we thought we could never have.

Ma & Pa cared forever, sacrificing everything that they had
Irrespective of the conditions, whether Good or Bad
The time that they lost in their Lives
Can’t be bought back, even for the Zillions of Dimes.

Resources were scarce, & at time conditions tough
But they made it sound easy, with a brief sigh
Packed in the room, in our Double Beds
Ma would cuddle us as if we were her Cubs.

Dad stayed far, but not far from our Hearts
He was always there in out Thoughts
I sometimes wished he were a Bird, who could Fly by
To say to his Kids to say just a simple “Hi”.

He used to transit up & down in the cold & the heat
His presence just made us all feel great
He would be a guide & a teacher
Laying strong foundations for our Brighter Future.

He would rarely scold, & even if he did, it was for Good
He was the Support System of our Childhood
Ma as usual would always be concerned
We would make sure not to cause her any discern.

At times we were rough as all children are
Acting as Brats & waging Ferocious Wars
But with intervention of Mom, It was a peaceful Ground
With no more Battles & wars to mound.

To persuade Ma was a very simple task
All we needed to do, was going on a Hunger Strike
Ma regularly visited School & got the essential Feedback
To make us bridge on our Voids & Gaps.

We always kept in our Hearts, the sacrifices of our Parents
Going in our making
Our Parents in disguise were busy, shaping moulds for our Lives
So that we could be whatever we desired.

There was a time when we just dreamt
Dreamt to the extend where the Horizons were
In search of these Horizons we discovered many Rainbows
But during this venture we got many bruises on our Knees

The times that we lost can never be bought back
Those times were precious & seem like invaluable now
But maybe that’s how Life goes on
There was a time when we………………………………
