I lost my childhood

I lost my childhood

I am a child of 21st 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
