Memories are all that remain !

At the age of four I joined my school.
When to the world I was nothing but a fool.
Learning, I had to do. And to knowledge, I was new.

With utmost patience, the teacher’s used to try.
And put everything in my head, till they used to dry.

 Life then used to be lot of fun. Running here there under the sun.
Learning and playing used to go side by side.
And with no important matters to decide,
The ocean of life used to look lively, and not dried.

 
Oh! I wish I could live those moments again and again.
But memories are all that remain!

 As I left my childhood and metamorphosed into a teen.
I recollect myself, roaming around in the corridors and the canteen.

Life’s values, I learnt in these crucial years.
And realised that life was not only laughter but also tears.

 Studies were smooth and not much of a trouble.
But with the realisation of life, my worries were only to double.

Things like friendship, love and trust, I treasures.
And knew that their importance couldn’t be measured.

 Life’s sudden ups and downs, sometimes made me happy,
And sometimes, I frowned.

 But soon I realised that life is to be lived and lived to the best.
And so I should stop worrying about the rest.
And have enough zest to take any test, and come out the best.

 With these values and immense knowledge,
I would probably be joining the college.
But this attachment of thirteen years,
Will not be broken without tears.
And the sweet memories will not be forgotten,
For many a year.

 Oh! I wish I could live these moments again and again.
But memories are all that’ll remain !!
