..The Lost Child..

Sweet memories of my childhood...
Brings tears to my eyes,
I still vividly remember,
The CHILD within me- calm and mild,
Endowed with a thoughtful and creative mind...
Innocent, but bold...
A heart full of zest and zeal,
Sensitive enough to feel,
I am startled to witness a Transformation,
A kind of degeneration,
The CHILD within me seems to be crumbling,
The event characterized by an ill feeling,
Eventually the signs of a malicious end,
Alas! I catch the glimpse of a helpless wrecked CHILD...
