HOW I WISH…..

#poetry #reminiscence #repost

How I wish…

Oh how I wish to turn back my life’s pages

And be a child

Sitting in my mother’s arm

Feeling every bit of coziness and calm

To do big blunders and go off easily

To cry as much and not be judged

Oh how I wish..

To fall off a dozen time

But always be on cloud nine

To eat like a horse

And not caring of course

To have that cute laughing Buddha belly

And still be called a strawberry jelly

Oh how I wish..

To hold my father’s hand

And go with him buying chocolates

To be yelled upon

But not giving it a damn

To not caring about penny

And be an albatross around the neck of your nanny

Oh how I wish..

To quarrel with my brothers

And get them scolded by my father

To befool my sister

And then be as cool as a cucumber

To read fairy tales

And feel like a princess

To play with Barbie all the time

Even if it was time to dine

Oh how I wish,

How I wish to turn back my life’s pages..

And roll down the memory lane

Be a small little unruly insane

Oh how I wish

To get to live yesterday once more.

Good afternoon, Samreen Asad

Thanks for your poem

That is today
in the world
just for myself
very horrible

the world
the others
give protection
and sometimes not

it is troublesome
oneself
mother and father
to become

into my own arms
to take
despite all adversity
of all complaints

Best regards

Don’t we miss those days, carefree, no responsibilities, fun, laughter, no matter what.. But as we start growing up these little joys start to subside. So we, be at 20,30, 50 or 60 we still have this beautiful corner of memories in our heart for those wonderful days. Oh, yes, you must not have played with barbie dolls😄 but I did so much, being a girl😀
I stepped out of my twenties Fred sometime back, it’s not all of the Muslims who marry off early, many like me complete their entire education and then marry, I completed my masters and then tied the knot😀 If my father would have been alive, he would have been of your age😊 You are a father figure to me and grandfather to my son😀 I loved your wonderful comment as always Fred, thank you sooo much for all your kindness. Means so much. Take care, stay blessed and have a lovely fun Sunday 🌻🌺✨🌼

Your beautiful poem sent me on a trip down memory lane Samreen. Of how things seemed so easy and carefree at that time, of how unconcerned I was and of how many pains borne by my parents to allow me that carefree childhood were hidden from me. Magic moments indeed, which I look upon with lots of longing and love, and a not a little regret knowing that door is closed forever.

Oh how beautifully you have put down your thoughts Deb and surely we never understand the pain our parents went through raising us until we become parents ourselves. 😊
Thank you soo much for your time and am very happy if in any way I could make you refresh those memories.
Have a wonderful day 🌺✨🌼🌻

Om my sweet dear Samreen,
I LOVED this poem of yours so carefree and memorable of days of my kids having so much fun wihout a care in the world. Kisses and hugs mended a cut knee or hurt feelings. I’m coming back as one of my kids next time or maybe one of my animals (or maybe one of yours 🤣).
And now I am a child in my own way; drifting off with my pen and paper in hand or in meditation eating chocolates on most days, carefree and happy. When I’m not working in my robe and when I get scours from my kids and my husband, well…… I don’t give a dame.🤣🤣🤣
Really great poem G.F,
❤️🤗🙏❤️🤗🙏❤️🤗🙏😘

You certainly are Cindy, a cute adorable child many a times as I can see through your write ups and comments we share and so mature, balanced, inspirational at the same time ❤️❤️❤️

These are the thoughts that come to you when you are so much entangled in life’s uncertainties that you wish to be a child again, that innocent being who doesn’t know what world has in store for him/her and you just enjoy that moment, being a child it’s easy to do so but being an adult you can say that but to actually live through it keeping all of your problems aside is a bit tricky🙂 And of course, we should and must endow the wisdom we have learnt through this journey from being a child to an adult😊❤️
Thank you dear so much 🤗
Have a good day 😊🌷🌻✨

You are right dear, in some way or the other we must try and become that innocent child again but yes, that time, that aura, your parents the whole lot of it is surely missed and cannot be revived again. 😊 Thank you dear soo much for reading and commenting. Means a lot. 🥰 Have a great week ahead 🙂❤️

Aww habeebiti..what a beautiful stroll down nostalgi’as lane, with all those precious memories of a childhood well-lived.. with loving parents close by to indulge you and sometimes scold you;;but always with the best intentions and always out of love.. My mother used to say I think Life could have been set up differently where we grow older to say age 60..then start going back every year getting younger, but with the wisdom of the old:) I too long for my childhood days..I had a happy one and loving parents until my dad passed away at 12. I love all the details and examples you used in yur poem..Just beautiful UmAnzar..I can so relate HUGS 🤗❤️🌹🙏🌺🌸
