Deepak Kumar Pattanayak's Reflection on Childhood Memories & Protocols 📝

Protocols <br />- - - - - - - - - - <br />Ever since the days <br />Of childhood, more close <br />To my heart is one image <br />Though treasured in my mind <br />Time exerting every effort it to erase <br />Though I faintly remember <br />Your once familiar face <br />There are many things <br />Change never can erase <br />And you are growing brighter <br />Unmarred by weary distance <br />How my heart for ancient love longs for <br />That in by-gone days we fathomed <br />My friend, I heard you have changed <br />That your gay face is now a face solemn <br />That you are now a celebrity, <br />very respectable a man <br />But I believe deep in your heart <br />I am your friend that I shall ever remain <br />The present is present <br />The past is past and will not go in vain <br />With all its joy and pain <br />As I wish to see you <br />I could foresee protocols <br />Dividing, delaying and restraining us <br />To remain friends always...........<br /><br />DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/protocols-2/
