I lost my childhood

I lost my childhood

I am a child of 21^st century

I lost my childhood

  You want to know how?

My mom and dad are jobholders

At the early age

I moved to crèche

Where whole day I was

In the hands of maid

I missed a lot my mom and dad

Can you feel this?

After crèche

I moved to Pre-school

Here I found lots of toy

Lots of fun

But I still missed

Something there also

I wished to move a long way

With my mom and dad’s finger touch

I wished to play with them

I wished to move to temple under theirs shadow

I missed lord’s blessings

I missed my neighbored children

All were compact in their houses

No one came and played

I missed them a lot

Can you feel this?

Now time to move to school

It was a boarding school

Here I found lots of friends

Lots of books and lots of homework

Lots of games and sports

The burden of bag and school routine

I was busy with books at school

I missed my life without my family

Can you feel this?

I couldn’t play with dolls

I couldn’t play with friends

I couldn’t play with gulli – danda

I couldn’t play with kanche – bante

I couldn’t with gudda  - gudiya marriage

I played with one device known as mobile

Watching TV and Video games

I couldn’t know why this happened to me?

I couldn’t know, why mom and dad didn’t have time for me

I couldn’t visit my relatives

I rarely visit my grandparents living far away

I couldn’t get their blessings

I had no place to play in my neighborhood

I missed a lot in my life

I think I have had lost my childhood

I missed morning walk with my parents

I had no sister

I missed carrying my sister’s finger to move to school

Can you feel this?

I missed late night stories

I missed late evening rhymes

I missed a holy touch of my mom’s arm

As she was always busy in her tasks

I had a big house with everything I needed

But I couldn’t have with me my parents, my grand parents

Friends and my relatives

I think

I lost a lot in my childhood life

I think

I lost my childhood life
