In retrospect

Walking the roads,

breaking the rules,

I danced along;

who cared for being told?

Laughing aloud,

singing so bold,

I whistled along,

who dared to scold?

Days rolled by,

so did the years;

Suddenly I found ,

I was way-past teddy bears.

With waxy skin

and a wobbly shin,

I look back at me-

in retrospect.

I sit to rest,

I sit to think,

I sit to link with what i did.

To give a hand,

to save a cause,

to save a land -what i did?

Lost in joys,

searching on unknown toys,

oblivious of elsewhere suffering kin,

years were wasted in childish din.

Now I fear ;

I know my days are near;

What justice can i do to help me cross,

with a peaceful mind and heart like floss?
