I wish

87 23 24
                                    

Oh how badly I wish to stop time, sometimes

I want to go back and sing nursery rhymes

When I was a kid with rosy red cheeks

When I danced, studied and played hide and seek

Wore mum’s heels and ran all over the house

I watched cartoons, loved mickey mouse

How I frowned when my cousins irritated me

Tickling my feet, hiding my pony

And how I studied in my “Urdu” class at school

Scribbling friends’ books, but never breaking rules

Sitting in the school ground, sharing lunch

Snatching french fries, a handful, a bunch

Listening the lecture half awake, half asleep

But the words of teachers in safe lockers keep

How proud I felt being chosen class representative

How a drew and wrote, loved being creative

The way I ran when I entered the parks

Feeling of lovely life made my eyes spark

Oh how badly I wish to stop time, sometimes

To enjoy the unconditional love, the blissful times
