School Days...

Yesterday I happened to visit my school,

I was suddenly filled with memories cool;

Greetings to the watchman uncle,

Stopping midway struggling with shoe buckle;

How disciplined we used to be!

Queuing up for the assembly;

The games period on Saturday,

Always made us yell 'hooray!'

The swings and slides and merry-go-rounds,

That game of making different sounds;

Christmas candies and Diwali sweets,

That excitement of getting birthday gifts;

Those bonds between best friends,

That always used to be in trend;

Learning maths was always fun,

To make binary, zero was paired up with one;

And understanding English Grammar,

Was no less than climbing a tall tower!

Yet that struggle was sweet enough,

To give us the thrust to keep it up;

Each morning I waited for the bus to come,

To take me to my second home and have such fun;

Each teacher loved us just like mom,

They also made us brave to face the storm;

I didn't know what to say or feel,

Everything just played like a reel;

Though I wished to be adult then,

Today, I wish to be that school-going kid again!
