If I had a time machine

As I scanned through the pile of

pictures and videos

taken a few years back,

I realized with sadness,

most of the events captured in

those beautiful pictures,

were not even in my memory.

wonderful times I spent

with my sweetheart,

times when I kept my ears

on her bulging belly,

to listen to our baby's moves,

giggles and blabbering of

our newborn child,

first words she uttered,

the way she crawled on the floor,

I could vaguely only recall them,
after seeing the pictures.

Time, age, stress and what not,

are perhaps taking a toll on

my memories.

Is it burdens of life and

unpleasant incidents

taking the place of good memories?

May be yes..may be not,

I do not know.

Then I prayed to god,

wish I have a time machine.

Time is flying very fast,

with its unstoppable journey,

it has erased some part of my

precious memories too;

Oh god..can I walk back in time?

To a time when I had more friends,

To a time when blood relations were not sour,

to a time when I walked the roads

 holding my moms hands,

Went to cinemas with my father

whom I could have loved

more than i did actually.

Please give me one more chance

to feel those moments once again.

I want to go back

to a time when I said something

or did something,

which I shouldn't have done in first place,

and undo what I did.
Please give me one more chance

to make those life corrections.

If only I have a time machine..

I know I am asking for

something  impossible to do.

But oh god you know,

I am just wishing

as there are no limits to do so.
