We never noticed how time passed,
From rubbing the blackboard and feeling for it proud,
To counting the photographs for reading a lesson out aloud.
Speaking to friends about new toys,
School life the time of ultimate joy.
When hungry we went to the school canteen,
Simple food felt like world class cuisine.
Not realizing school life was so good and easy,
We felt ourselves burdened and busy.
The last page of our notebook filled with Bingo and Tic-Tac toe ,
We talked and ate with our heads bent low.
We enjoyed and laughed unaware of how swiftly time passes.
We promised friends we'd be there needed whenever,
Unthoughtful about the fact that school life won't last forever.
The school life is over, the fact is hard to believe.
"WITH TEARS WE HAD COME,
WITH TEARS WE LEAVE."
