Analysis of I LONG TO BE A CHILD AGAIN
SAMRAJ HOPPER 1969 (Tuticorin)
As the wind blew soft and cool
Caressing me with its gentle tool
Scores of butterflies swiftly flew
With hues of vibrant colors anew
Spring is here with hope so new
Wings of fantasy in morning dew
Fading hopes long lost from view
Trading smiles unknown but few
Seasons change like a king's attire
Reason enough to bring in freshfire
Warming my heart to find a clue
Taming fears in mystery glue
Joys of childhood fill my memories
Toys and holidays fresh in series
I Long to be a child once again here
My broken dreams so far yet near.
