The good old days are still here!

I was chatting with Gokul the other day, and we happened to mention how 'those' days were indeed, the good old days. Now mind you, we aint that old right now, and could give quite a few kids a run for their money with our 'mature' activities, but anyway, i remembered a 'pome' that I'd written when I'd just gotten out of school, as a result of lectures from the family and elders on how we'd NOW grown up, and should start looking at life differently(I don't see why, I like it just the way it is :) ). I found it after cleaning my room (YES, that's out of my to-do list), and though it isnt a masterpiece, even remotely, by any standards, it was nice to read what I wrote back then.. so here goes, now u bear the brunt :p

There was once a time,
when we had no fear nor care,
we learnt the little things in life,
and had all the time to spare

Strangers came into our lives,
and stayed on as friends,
some were mere acquaintances,
others were true godsends

Slowly there appeared a twinkle in the eye,
a gleam of mischief, one could say,
we began to do things more clever,
the old innocence faded away

Today we stand as men and women,
and have our own burdens to bear,
we wish we could return to that life again,
and have all the time to spare!

Hmm, I guess looking back is a wonderful thing, and the past sparkles immensely when we look through the crystal glass of memory, but in all probability, ten years from now, I'll look back on today, and say "The good old days"..human habits die hard dont they?
