The Calling Home

Going for metro to catch the flight

Capturing all the passing sights

Luggage full of sweets and delight

Hoping to reach the home at night

Younger ones waiting for the toys

Elders waiting to see their boys

An hour long journey in the flight

Seems to be exciting and full of bite

Pastries, coke and burger plate

Fades away without getting late

The flight among the stars

But absence of fairies and jars

Reminds us of songs and cars

The reality is the life on the earth

Where you have been since the birth

The pleasure we enjoy in an hour's journey

Remains forever in our dreams

And in our memories .
