Poem 🌷 D Magical Moments...
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

Setting a goal to keep inner-child alive
As we can't turn back wheels of Time. 

It's about pleasing d child within...
In our journey, d One is lost some time

It doesn’t speak n interrupt our busy days
But it lingers somewhere in our memories

A quiet part of us that still remembers
Who we’re before world started telling us 

About our choices, fears n our longings.
N sometimes, without even realizing this 

Now it's an attempt to return to d feeling
Of childhood being enough without trying 

We desire a lot, but at the end of it all...
We look for our childhood version overall 

D things we missed in our childhood,
We try to do them in our adulthood.

We begin to collect expectations, 
Not just from others but from our own’s

Believing, we’ve to fit in certain spaces…
N achieve certain things, prove d success

At the end of all our desires n chasing, 
What we want isn't success but a feeling 

From ourselves, a definite recognition
We want to feel without any conditions.

We've insecurities n personality traits, 
Love patterns to protect ourselves

D way we hesitate before expressing 
Already built at that age R our feelings 

But in d process of figuring it all out
We’ll forget ourselves n feel lost at times.

N forget that d approval we're searching,
Is always meant to come from within...

A part of us still waits to be acknowledged
N still awaits to be chosen n selected… 

We think about d smallest memories,
That didn’t feel important in past times…

But carry warmth that nothing can replace
Like d time going to meet grandparents 

Granny'd bring us a big tub of ice cream. 
It's d memory n d World of fun-filled-time

D way we don’t think about anything else,
D Happiness exists in d Magical Moments
