Metaphors to our school life,
Evidence of our ability to dream,
Lawyers to those bored of lectures,
Listeners to stories — mostly unspoken ones,
Frames to our natural cameras,
Stenographers of our train journeys,
Involuntary sidekicks to perverted stalkers,
Unpaid workmen for looters and shooters,
Under-appreciated third wheels to summer love and snuck-in flying kisses,
Decorators of player transfers in football,
Hosts of some in
timate big people talks,
Speaking French, descriptors to our dream homes,
A carefree guardian that opened "gates" to the world,
Carriers of messages from highs to lows,
From flying merchants beyond the clouds,
To levitating astronauts, defying gravity.
Heartbroken romantics to hard-hit cricket balls,
Adorning cars that made movies like "Titanic" Memorable for the boys :)
When most of the doors to life are closed,
There are always windows of hope.
