Memories

            MEMORIES
Looking back at my life
The trodden path full of knife
Brought to my eyes burning tears
The world while was wrapped in cheers

Time flew off swift as jet
Forbidding the bewildered kid to get
The glimpse of the colourful world
Good times which it had to herald

Times of good soon were lost
In the web weaved by misery the host
Of the lachrymose house of utter poverty
Where hopes of success were in minority

Misery didn’t prolong for long
A ray of hope reverbrated like a song
Wiping away the tears of sorrow
That had pierced my heart like an arrow
