TOY

By SHYAMOLI BANERJEE

  When I was a Little Little Boy 
  My hands were full of Colourful Toy, 
  When I Weep they cried with me, 
  When I laugh they danced with joy. 
  The childhood toys said Adieu, 
  And left the Stage……..
  I find myself in young man’s cage !
  Toys come to me in many ways…….
  Toys Of Family, Toys Of Friend,
  Toys of Name, Toys Of Fame 
  Toys of vanity, Money Game……….
  Now ; I am a man of grey. 
  Youthful toys vanish away !
  In my heart,I am still the crying little boy….. 
  But my hands are empty………..
  Alas! No Toy, No More Toy !!
