Sumit De Bhaumik
Wanted to write a few lines for you.
Just a few.
Remember childhood times
Memory rushing in
Like rays of light, through doors
And windows of my mind.
The different houses that we stayed
Bore unforgettable imprint
Of our growing days
Each house is a home that I revisit
For the joy and love we found in it.
New Alipore
Floating paper boats below with you
Mayfair road
How you draped in white bedsheets
With daddy's Eveready torches
Tried to frighten me,
And succeeded too!
How we played barbershop,
And you neatly
Removed my fringe, lingers on
And hopelessly I grin.
The balcony where we played with the "chik",
Rolling them up and down and up again
The cadbury stored in the fridge for later
Always missed by me, very soon after.
Rishra days!
And by then our world enlarged
To include so many many friends
The fun times we have had
Thanks to dear mom and dad
Growing up in a safe fairyland.
This poem is become more a roll call of events
That we both recall so here I smiling send
Happy birthday wishes dear brother again,
And May God bless,
Surround you with the love of
Family and friends.
