Retracing My Footsteps Comments

Thank you Valsaji for sharing this beauty of poem, for it brings back to memory, the attractions of childhood fading out visions. Thank you once again

So many good memories of your childhood days, I can relate to the paragraph which talks about fireflies around neem tree, In my childhood days once we were passing thorough jungle in northen India boarding a narrow gauge train and I saw many fireflies aroung one tree, It was magical, as if I was in fairyland.

its so so beautiful to revive those moments of our days when we were like butterflies...............yes we all wish to bring back those moments....

This lovely write reminiscing about the past brings back to me so many good memories. I couldn't help but smile when you bought back some of those things that I could reflect on. I may not live them again but I can think and ponder about those beautiful moments. Thanks for the memories.

Some parts of my childhood I'd rather forget other thoughts I look back with a smile, it's better to hold on to those lovely thoughts. Lovely... thank you for sharing.

I think everyone of us here would like to go back to dwell in our past, as tough times are awaiting ahead...life is and was never easy at any stage: -) a gud write Mam

I travelled back to my past and could easily identify with your wishes..... beautifully captured feelings of nostalgia.. thanks for sharing such a beautiful poem.

Hi Valsa, with these words you brought us back to your past, and I'm sure yourself too. And even in the now of the present, the trying tests and the slings and arrows still arrive but we see and understand them in a new light and are more capable of dealing with them and in mitigating any traces of aloneness. Great write! Cheers!

I share with you this deep longing for the past and wish I could express these longings as poignantly beautifully as you.. Sometimes in our dreams we can revisit that glorious time. This is beautiful and sort of choked me up

Thank You Valsa for sharing these truly beautiful words

Forgotten lore of child hood have so much appeal. How I wish to go back and climb those mango trees or run and catch a ripe mango. Lovely poem to feel the nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.

A wonderful poem rekindling the sweet memories what we have passed though. Hence who does not want to go back ther..... but alas! ! ! ! ! ! ! Wonderful.

Everyone wants to go back to one's past. The glorious days are always remembered they are always in front of the eyes. We must live in the present remembering them. A poem of great beauty. Thank you for touching all those days.

As time flies by and nearer we come to the end of our pilgrimage almost forlorn and alone, we yearn for our quiet past.............Valsa.....as usual a great piece.........loved it

I want to go back to my past When we had watched at night A hundred fireflies dancing around the *neem Wondering if they were stars fallen from heaven’s seam In this beautiful poem of longing, I love this stanza the most.

sweetness of love outpouring, good writing.really.
