Many fond playground memories came to my mind ,as I visited a children’s park recently .

The small rock-climbing walls which made me feel  like I was a professional mountaineer ,

The towers for watching over the playground which made me feel like a Kingmaker,

 The swirly slides, the cozy swings which made me feel like I was on cloud nine.

The Monkey bars, which I couldn’t even reach ! until I was nine.

 The merry-go-round which made me go all dizzy,

The so called dangerous tubes which made me go all crazy,

 Finally dawned on me that I was getting long in the tooth.

 It was as if it were yesterday, when I was Playing on that colourful See-saw,

Without a care in the world, not bothered about compliments or remarks.

 These Nostalgic thoughts made my day,

 The bitter truth hit me hard, that I was an adolescent now.  I can never get back to those blooming days, and I realised that time had gone by so quickly
