It was yesterday;
When I stepped into my school…….
Holding on to my mother’s hand..i was nothing more than a fool!
But with every passing day…I grew,
...
Born into this world
of love and care,
and joy and laughter,
as i thought!
...
'Is life a quest for what it is?
Is it a boon or a pity shown?
Pushing hard in the race of life!
Has man won or has he lost? '
...
Its funny how the saying goes;
‘Best lessons are learnt from foes'!
Foes, of course the usual bad,
A judge by profession I seldom had;
...
I wonder how our lives would have been
Had no one paid heed to the things not seen?
I wonder what the future would then have seemed,
If he'd left it at the visible scale, had John Dalton forgot to dream.
...
Here i sit,
alone in the dark
with a spark in my eye,
hearing the world, when it cries.
...
O mother,
Remember the first time i called you,
Those were the first words from my mouth...
Little words of love and care
...
Who is it that teaches you-
Not to touch a frying pan,
A spinning fan,
...
Like dark forests, they spread,
all around your head!
Ready to lay their lives,
expecting no return, not even a paise!
...
Farewell!
It was yesterday;
When I stepped into my school…….
Holding on to my mother’s hand..i was nothing more than a fool!
But with every passing day…I grew,
Learning to fight my fears ……
and hold on to my tears…
I learned to screw my way through!
Exams not far,
As studies took over…
I held on to my books,
As lifelines or hooks!
Nothing did help,
When exams took off,
But for my dear friend;
Nerdy as ever,
He helped us through forever!
I learned to cry,
I learned to laugh,
I learned to never lie!
I learned to love,
And fight at times….
I learned life as it passed!
And here I am,
At the end of my road,
Leaving behind memories,
Hope they won’t corrode!
To find another road,
That will take me far away!
From friends,
From teachers……
From my dear school! !
