The sky oh so blue

Sometimes I remember
the good old days.
When the times were simpler
and there was no craze.

When I used to live in a small town
under the sky oh so blue.
When the world was a smaller place
and really colourful in its hue.
When I used to go to a school
but never worried about anything.
When I used to play for hours on end
but still completed everything.

Sometimes I wonder
what it would be like to go back to that time.
It makes me realise
that living in today's world is almost like a crime.

Sometimes I still remember
the good old days.
When the times were simpler
and there was no craze.
To return to that place and time
anything I will do.
Where the life was simpler
and the sky was oh so blue.


This piece is dedicated to a small hill-station called Lansdowne, where I lived for six wonderful years.

Awfully good poetry for a a first timer, written on such a sweet topic.

Your post reminded me of the city where I spent my childhood. gives me an idea to dedicate a post to Bangalore.

But then its true.. childhood was the bliss.. no tension of career.. had always time to play cricket .. under the sky with frns..
or running in the field, shouting, doing crazy things as if noone is watching..
i miss them too...
