💕A gentle knock to the heart.💕

A gentle knock to the heart reminds me of my good old days,
Where love and care was showered abundantly by my parents.
A happy and carefree childhood that it was,
Enveloped, sheltered and protected was the basic cause.

A gentle knock to the heart reminds me of my good old days,
When learning and understanding was routine and fun.
Flowering and progressing in all my small ways,
School, dance, drawing, play and not a tinker of tension or dismay.

A gentle knock to the heart reminds me of my good old days,
When smiles and praises were showered in plentiful by my parents.
An exemplary and blossomed childhood that it was,
Safety, security and stability was always the basic cause.

A gentle knock to the heart reminds me of my good old days,
Where needs and wants were fulfilled by my parents without delay.
A happy, innocent and carefree childhood that it was,
Deciphering right and wrong was never the reason to betray.

A gentle knock to the heart reminds me of my good old days,
Where love and care was showered abundantly by my parents.
This space in the heart is empty now, as my parents are no more now,
But, those fond remembrances’ and nostalgic moments give a gentle knock to my heart even now.
