The castle

Once upon a time,

There stood a castle alone,

Its inhabitants were unknown.

But they say one could hear,

At the stroke of midnight,

Shrill cries full of fear and fright.

It loomed even worse under the ugly moonlight.

They say it was haunted,

And the door was ever closed.

A shadow was once seen,

Through the window screen.

Could he be the owner

Or... probably a ghost ?

They say its all over now

Yet does that shadow still stay there ?

Its still a mystery. So beware!

In search of happiness

I am a school-going girl

I keep searching for happiness

Yet, I do not know what happiness is

Here and there I looked for happiness

Everywhere I looked for happiness

Nowhere could I find it

Will you tell me where it lives ?

I tried to find it on earth

Happiness ran away from me

I tried to find it in the sky

Happiness flew away from me.

I am a school going girl

I do not know what happiness is

Will you tell me where it lives ?

Teacher

It was teacher that made us

It was teacher that saved us

Teacher is a bank of knowledge

Teacher is a good friend

Teacher is like a god

From whom we get blessing and wishes

Teacher was part of god’s plan

When He made man
