Binding the books with brand new brown sheets was
an important task.
All emotions were crystal clear as we never wore a
mask.
It was fun to preserve the peacock feather in note
books.
It was a eureka moment when we scored marks for all
our flukes!

We never got tired counting the stars
and we always wished when we saw a shooting star.
Those were the days when we thought
world is full of love and no war.
Those were the days when we believed
the power of joy over worries.
Today those bygone days are just
treasured memories!

ReplyDeletethe day we did the whole new-wrapper on new books was more exciting than the actual buying of books!! :D
Lovely Afshan! :)
You just made me super nostalgic with the first line of your poem. I loved and anxiously waited for the school to re-open because I liked how we shopped for new books (includes smelling them), covers, stickers and stationary.
ReplyDelete"....we never wore a mask."
ReplyDeleteThat is what I miss most about my childhood, the innocence and simplicity of life and relationships.
Lovely poem Afshu :)
Seriously! Gone are the days of innocence! Of life with simple joys!
