Forever memories
#WritcoPoemChallenge

Lost in time

Weaved with memories

It was but an old house

But there was a time when it was so lively with laughter all around

I can still see a younger version of my self-standing in the courtyard

That was once our favourite playground

Festivals celebrated together

Values imbibed by my parents shall stay with me forever

Moments of happiness and sorrow that this house witnessed

Still holds them inside it

So many years have passed by

It is still standing there, abandoned and empty

As my mother went to see it for the last time before leaving

After marriage, it was this house, that marked her life’s new beginning

She bolted the gate of the courtyard and folded her hands

Bidding her final Goodbye, she left as the old house glanced!
