Those Days!

When I went to school, 

Probably was the first, 

Big change in our lives, 

Reluctant to embrace, 

Of what was to come. 

  

Different place,  

New connections, 

Was thrown into, 

An unknown world, 

Amidst which I grew up. 

  

Reminiscing the era, 

Where innocence dominated, 

Our mistakes were corrected, 

We learnt to see the world, 

And build our dreams. 

  

The phase that introduced us, 

To everlasting and fleeting, 

Bonds of friendship, 

Making memories only, 

To be cherished for a lifetime. 

  

Inculcating discipline within, 

Working hard for those pointers, 

Who would have thought, 

Unknowingly we were laying, 

Foundations of our lives ahead!
