Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 THE WORLD A FAIR When I was 5 – I went to a fair My eyes open wide in wonder My nose smelling every sweet they sold My walk a skip My voice a squeak My money not enough to buy every toy in every stall When it was 5 – It was time to go home Dusty and dirty Tired and exhausted Belly aching and eyes closing Feet dragging and shoulders sagging Didn’t want to walk anymore, talk anymore Sing anymore, smile anymore All I wanted was to go home, Lay my head in my mother’s lap And sleep ---------------------- When I am 35 – I have walked through life, Played with all the toys, Watched all the wonders, Tried every treat, Tasted every sweet, Laughed, gambled, cheated, danced, Sang, lied, sinned, ate, Wasted, wanted, wailed, derailed, Blundered, wandered, worried, wished, Hoped, sighed, longed, craved, But now – enough! I want to come home To the peace and quiet To the cozy embrace of my mother Sai To the love of a thousand mothers I just want to close my eyes and sleep. Sai Ram and Love. sai_sravanthi_999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
