The Halcyon days

                   The Winter Days

                   Ali Hamid Khan

Winter is cold and the day is short
Memories are many of the evenings of games
Friends gathering and matches played
The games went on late into the nights
There was joy, fun and laughter
Hitting out at the shuttle cock, running all over the court
Trying to out play each other sweating even in the cold
Those were auld Lang syne free and happy
As winter comes so do voices from the distant past
Games that were played with such dedication and energy
No worries or any stress just competitions and determination to win
