gone are the days whe i was just a child
gone are the days when i was mild and wild
gone are the days when hope and faith defined life
gone are the days when treasures used to find
gone are the days when the sky was desneyland
gone are the day when dreams and life intertwined
oh childhood~s a
a wonderous ectasy

Childhood days are so precious and carve out who we become in life. Although my childhood days are so long ago they are always days I treasure and think back on with love and thanks. Like Gideon said, a writer is always a child at heart and that's a lovely place to be. Lovely poem and it gets my like it vote .... Pat

Sire, I do thank thee so very much for thy glorious words of grandeur and support. They meant so much to me. May Christ be our guide as we live with eternity in view. Love and respect, your fellow human; strength and courage, your fellow knight.

This indeed reflects me. Believe it or not Yuki, for we both are almost equal aged, I feel like having grown old. I kinda yearn to get the lost childhood. It really reflects me. I loved my insouciant childhood, and now life is fretful.
And I've taken up a similar theme in my poem "Strange, Life is!" haha... Yes, I long to be a child again - though all of you may debate I'm not at all old.
I love this poem Yuki. An exquisite expression! I love this...
Take care :)

Wow thank you thank you. Yuki!!! You really made my day. The truth remains that i never enjoyed my childhood. I grew way too fast. I may still be young but i look and feel so old for my age. I could pass for an adult but deep within my heart, there's a child dying for a chance to express itself. Its terrible how i feel and each day I crave to be a child once again. I'll read that your poem

Thank you so very much for your encouraging words. How is it done in Canada? Any glorious childhood memories you wanna share?

Well, dear, I love this. It really catches the innocence of childhood in a light I honestly do not think I have seen.
Ok, but I few things bugged me just a little bit. I believe 'desneyland' is meant to be Disney Land' and on the last line I'm pretty sure 'ectasy' is supposed to be 'ecstasy'
All in all, well done honey! Love this one also:)
Thank you again for posting your work

ohh you said it .. adult life is so boring and monotonous .. we all move in a single line ... we forget to see the colors of life and rather live in a black and white world ... childhood was the best .. we don't follow rules but we make our own .. no malice, no hard feelings , no remorse .. only hope and delight as we take in a new day ... lovely piece .. made me nostalgic and want to go back to my childhood .. good job :)

Gone maybe the old days, but forget those, they are no less a part of you than today. Enjoy the moment, for this is more important than either the past or the present, and how we spend the moment, is up to each one, individually.
Let God guide your way, and Basque in the light that is His.
All the best.
Kath.
Gone are the days..you made me miss my gone days ..SIMPLE and SUPERB!

So true, i can feel your emotion in this and i can relate a lot. everything was a lot more simpler when you could find days of joy with a cardboard box! lol I've written a poem called, 'Time Machine' which is very similar on the topic and i thought you may be interested in, keep writing!!
