    The poem reflects on childhood as a carefree time of play without responsibilities that is replaced all too soon by the worries and hardships of adulthood such as school, relationships, and work. Childhood happiness and freedom are portrayed as fleeting, with the promise of childhood never being fully realized as responsibilities set in and replace the easy joy and lack of burdens one associates with youth.

    Childhood is a promise that is never kept

    Intra Hostel Creative Writing


    18th August, 2010

    I felt this life is like a prize

    When I first stepped on earth

    But later to my utmost surprise

    It’s not a penny of worth

    I still recall those merry days

    The golden era of life

    All the day full of plays

    No worries about children and wife

    I was everyone’s apple of eye

    And how eager girls were to take me

    And loft me high in the sky

    Oh! No bound to my glee

    Just when I felt the sun is on the rise

    It rather turned out to be twilight

    Soon, gone were the days of paradise


    And I was greeted by the dark night

    The horrors of quizzes took over

    Weaving a cage all around

    Never saw a morning again ever

    The eyes wet as I frowned

    It didn’t take far too long

    To finally realize that how apt

    Is the title of this song

    Childhood is a promise that is never kept
