Take me back......

With every passing second, I struggle and I strive,

Take me back to the days of a child, carefree-like!

With every passing minute, i deal with problems, more and few,

Take me back to days, where problem meant 1+1 equals 2!

With every passing hour, to attain success, I run behind,

Take me back to days, where demands were pencil and eraser, easy to find!

With every passing day, I make friends, less true, many fake,

Take me to days, where my lone enemy was Mom's hot milk-shake!

With every passing week, several sleepless nights I shed,

Take me to times, where I slept in Dads' arms and got up in bed!

With every passing fortnight, I hope for situations to change,

Take me to times, where I didn't know how to spell anxiety and strange!

With every passing month, I try to keep myself sound and happy,

Take me to days, hell broke loose only when I wetted my nappy!

With every passing quarter, I long for love and to make bonds,

Take me back to days, where everyone, of me, were fond!

With every passing year, new responsibilties, my shoulders, fill,

Take me back to moments, I lay in my Mom's womb, numb and still!
