Those little sorrows and fears of childhood <br />those little joys... <br />all the fetching smiles and tears <br />all the little toys... <br />Where have they gone? <br />where are they now? <br />those naughty pranks and games and song <br />are nowhere found. <br />My heart is bound to have them all. <br />My doll Aleena used to sing a lovely song <br />'Happy children! sing you now...' <br />My heart screams: <br />O, busy Life! <br />where have you lost my pretty doll <br />with hazel eyes and silky golden ponytails? <br />you have devoured my aeroplane, <br />my dog, my train, my lovely teddy bears... <br />for them I used to laugh, for them <br />I used to shed my tears <br />I love recalling carefree days, <br />I love recalling joys; <br />I still recall my pretty past <br />I still recall my Toys! ! !<br /><br />Shahzia Batool<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-my-toys/
