Those were the Best Days of our Life!

I started thinking on my way
About my school about the very first day
I still remember how a 3yr old child wept
Into a new atmosphere when he crept

Laughing and playing a good 14years rolled
And today it’s the end everything around seemed to have come to a hold
Tears trickled down my cheek
I am so lost and broken things seem bleak

I could hear my heart cry and say
I will miss those annual exams and the long holidays every April-May
Those long lectures and those silly pranks
The wait for the lunch break, answer papers and ranks

Nick naming teachers my lovely uniform
Walking the campus with my best pals arm in arm
Those games that we played and then lost and fought
Those little celebrations,silly disputes everything seems silly now & yet not

Those Tiffin boxes emptied before lunch
We were choosy in making friends. Making new frds was decision of the bunch
When treat meant the hot Samosa’s in the canteen for which we would drool
We wished for bad weather, for teachers to be unwell and acted to miss school

Those were undoubtedly breathtaking days
We are gonnna miss our childhood buddies our class our table our place
Some treasured memories… Indeed Life’s best phase
This is all that clicks when it’s time to chase

Some new dreams and some new pals at this hair-pin bend
and now this chapter reads just two words “THE End”
At this threshold suddenly even the teacher I hated the most
Started appearing sweet who otherwise appeared like a scary ghost

Yes it’s hard to leave behind you all
Who will lift us when we fall?
Who will pamper us and who will scold?
The way you have loved and the way you have mould

We promise No matter how far we go how great we become
We will remain the same for you when ever we come
Finally, Words are less and pages are few
To tell each of you how much We are gonna miss you :(
