I walked down the street, trying to remember it all,
But not seeing a single thing that I could recall.
The neighborhood wasn't what it used to be,
Alongside the road, there were no Jamun trees.
There were no houses older than a few years,
Nothing could remind me of my childhood fears.
Then I saw it, something I could finally recognize,
Standing there, our house, like a sight for sore eyes.
It hadn't changed with time, it had stayed the same,
A little rundown, it was a home to which I came.
Sighing, as I took the trip down memory lane,
I remembered the innocent smiles and not the pain.
I was home, at last, after longer than I care to admit,
I was here to stay, but as a winner and not a misfit.
