Gone are the days Poem

     Gone are the days........but not the memories
 
      Gone are the days
      When the school reopened after finals,
      And we settled in our new desks and benches.

        Gone are the days
      When we queued up in book depot,
      And got our new books and notes.

        Gone are the days
      When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
      Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.

        Gone are the days
      When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
      And returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat.

        Gone are the days
      When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
      Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds.

        Gone are the days
      When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table, Was awaited more
      eagerly than the monsoons.

        Gone are the days
      Of fights but no conspiracies,
      Of Competitions but seldom jealousy.

        Gone are the days
      When few rushed to
      "Conquer" window seats in our School bus.

        Gone are the days
      Of Sports Day, and the annual School Day,
      And the one-month long preparations for them.

        Gone are the days
      Of the stressful Quarterly, Half Yearly and Annual Exams,
      And the most enjoyed holidays after them.

      Gone are the days
      We learnt, we enjoyed, we played, we won, we lost, We laughed, we
      cried,
      we fought, we thought.

      Gone are the days
      With so much fun in them, so many friends,
      So much experience, all this and more.

      Gone are the days
      But not the memories, which will be
      Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
      Ever and ever and Ever.

      I hope you went back to your Golden Olden days..........

      For a while..........as I DID!!
