Life is full of fragrance and flowers,

If it is treasured, each and every hour.

Despite all obstacles, thunders and showers,

We should strive to go far ‘n’ far.

Life is like an unearthed treasure,

It is full of both pain and pleasure.

We have to make it full of beauty,

By blending both rights and duties.

Life goes forever never remains,

What ever goes once will not come again.

So despite all stresses and strains.

Our goals we should attain.

Don’t make life a dirty foul game,

If you really want true name and fame.

Sincerely you work, honestly do the same.

Patience bears fruit, why claim and blame?

— Tanushree, Class X, Vidya Devi Jindal School, Hisar

Time is too precious to lose,

Work hard and make its best use

Lose it once, and it won’t come back,

Run you must on this track

Time is wealth, time is money

Make hay when it’s sunny

Time once wasted is a fortune lost.

None else but you will pay the cost

Even when others may fret or frown.

Keep going and don’t let yourself down

Be vigilant and keep on guard

Your labour will surely bring reward.

Parents are our best guide.

They are loving and kind.

Even if they scold us,

We should never mind.

They give us joy and take care,

Their sorrows they never share.

We should keep ourselves busy,

By helping our parents,

Or doing the work of study.

We should obey their every order,

Exactly like a soldier.

This will make our parent proud.

Our child is the best,

They will say aloud.
