Walking The Memory Alphabets

Every first are so special

I remember I was so thrilled

For my first day of school

Wearing matching shoes and socks

To my frock

I was ready with a new bag, water bottle

New books

Ah, just sweet memories

Of those good days

Stress-free

Filled with innocence

Meeting your teachers and friends

Learning and greeting new people

Sharing your tiffin

Playing games

Walking through

The memory alphabets

I remember my amma waiting outside

The classroom patiently

And I just couldn't wait to say

What all I learned

I hoped - what if every day is the same as

The first day

Ever walking the memory alphabets
