How Sweet Were The Past Days!

How sweet were those past days left back

I feel when flashed over in my mind screen

I enjoy the happy moments of the lost track

That would never be back again to be seen

Childhood days, full of pleasure and dream

Free from liability, anxiety, burden and stress

No aim, no high ambition to be serious extreme

Eating, playing, enjoying with parents' care and grace

My First Lesson started lightly in a playful style

A, B, C, D.. , and the numbers from one to hundred

No haste, no crazy, no competition to compile

Database or storage bank of knowledge to upgrade

Around my small hamlet, Bandar by name

I spent my boyhood in liberty and pleasure

I played and picked up fruits in the garden

Besides school hours, day long at my leisure

Open grounds, mango groves, ponds for bathing

Grazing and green corn fields surround the village

In the North a small river, Kandar is zigzagging

So pleasant, under vast blue sky, were my boyhood days!
