Hopping and jumping, <br />From the schools did we come... <br />From humans, <br />Monkeys we did become... <br /> <br />The excitements remained the same, <br />Whether it was summer or cold... <br />Continued and continued, <br />Even after we became a bit old... <br /> <br />School contacts started to lose, <br />As we stepped into our college shoes... <br />Life seemed much amazing, <br />Searching for those holidays were our nights passing... <br /> <br />With watered mouths we saw, <br />The kids playing during their holidays... <br />We became the monkeys, <br />Fed by the hays... <br /> <br />Got our jobs, <br />And got the responsibilities on our tops... <br />Forgot the meaning of those holidays, <br />As we were no more a part of those childhood days... <br /> <br />Missing those holidays, <br />Missing the hide n seeks... <br />Missing our true buddies, <br />Missing those sweet memories...<br /><br />Stephen Paul<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/childhood-holidays/
