Gone Are Those Days

Gone are those days, when we used to wake up early morning,
And  used to get punishment only for the reason of yawning.

Gone are those days, when we used to run for the breakfast,
And used to stand with friends till the last bus depart.

Gone are those days, when we used to reach the school late,
Some how worried and some how happy, seeing closed gate.

Gone are those days, when there was eagerness for going to school,
Not bringing I'd card and making council fool.

Gone are those days, when only home work was worry,
friends used to say, "Recess is over guys, let's hurry".

Gone are those days when we used to wake up early morning,
And used to get punishment only for the reason of yawning.
