___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Oh take me back to those good old days,
When life was just like a piece of cake,
Colored like a rainbow and decorated like a bride.

Oh Take me back to the time when jealousy ,betrayal and lust,
Were but, just words too difficult to pronounce and impossible to exercise.

Oh Take me back to the time when I was an adorable innocent kid,
When all I knew was to help and love,
When all around seemed my kin.

Oh Take me back to the time when life seemed so enjoyable,
When the little simplicities were so enthralling,
When I could gaze at the sky and count the stars,
And make a note of this in my little diary..!!,
And speculate why they kept changing every night.

Oh Take me back to the time when ,during thunderstorms,
I used to look up skywards,and smile,
Lest God would have had a bad impression of mine,
Captured on his gigantic Camera,
Which strangely enough, kept snapping like crazy,
On some exceedingly windy and noisy days.

Oh Take me back to the time when life was all about seeing exams through,
When I had the fire in me to be the best,
Which could never be doused..but kept smouldering..
Till on the day of reckoning I reigned supreme.

Oh Take me back to the time when I was proud that I had parents as loving as they are,
Not ashamed that were so out-of-style..outdated,
When I could enjoy in awe, the incidents and experiences they had garnered over their lifetime,
And not laugh and scoff away at their superstitions and strange conventions.

Oh Take me back to the time when,with my head in mom's lap,
I felt a sense of peace,a sense of serenity,a sense of equilibrium with the world,
When all my troubles, all my miseries, all my pains I vanquished,
And now they haunt me with reinvigorated vigor.

Oh Take me back to the time when life was more than the 9 to 6 routine,
When everything wasn't so monotonous, so uninteresting,
When I could revel in the joys of life,
When I had some time for people who really loved me,
When I could stand by and appreciate social bonds and family relations.

Oh Take me back to the time when I really loved and respected my parents,
When I considered them to be fragments of the Almighty, sent down just for me,
When I couldn't comprehend a world without them,
When I couldn't step out of the precincts they drew for me,
When I never questioned their intentions, their knowledge and their love,
When I was proud of the trust,the confidence they had in me,
When I was grateful for the love, the time, the energy,the devotion and everything else they had invested in me,
When I could have happily sacrificed all I had,just to see the glow on their faces,
When all that mattered to me was their happiness and well-being,
When I felt all their pains were mine,and strived to swipe them off,
When there was no concept of them(parents) and me.....it was US all the way.
