Last year and last day at school

Tweet

It is years since I stepped out of the portals of my alma mater but memories are still vivid and I relive them. We were 33 and later we came to know all had passed. The last day was full of tears. After parting I never ever met some although my efforts to collect class mates after years did yield results - I got together 14 at one time - some had become grand mothers. I may have posted this poem which I composed on school times but would upload it here if you have not seen it before SCHOOL TIMES Destiny takes us we know not where But we carry our memories there School times, classmates loads of fun Exams done accolades won. Driving teachers round the bend Teasing, jeering it had no end “Stand on the bench” they’d scream away But from them we would run away Lunch time spent in running around In the baking sun till the ball was found The recess over, back to the class Striving for those marks to pass Some were always upto pranks Competing for those tempting ranks Pushing prodding to come out first If one failed the tears would burst Classmates are a wonderful gift Try your best stop the drift Teachers, masters ever so kind Tough it was to leave them behind So many years of endless joy Fun and frolic boy oh boy! Dramas, rehearsals, singing galore I wish those years were here once more .
