When I was five
I craved for toys
But when I look back
I feel I was such a naive!
When I turned ten
I yearned for friends
No wonder, why I go gaga
Over this enigma of saga!
Fifteen, when I completed
Books were the only things that I
greeted
The way it’s magic proliferated
I know it’ll savour its vantage,
till the end of ages!

Give my dreams a kernel of
reality
Transforming myself from being
fanatic
To stop being garbled and be
pragmatic!
But now when I look back and ruminate
There’s one thing I’d like to
narrate
You’ll possess everything that you've ever wanted
That’s the power that we humans
have been granted!
