Memories of February and March :- Ankit Aggarwal (X-B)

When that day comes near and near,
My eyes get filled with tears,
Mom whispered in my ear,
There's nothing to fear
Exams often come and go
Don't allow them to show
Study the portions like a vow
Take it in that spirit and go,
8'O Clock, the bell starts ringing
The cowardice in me starts sinking
The boldness in me starts thinking
The confident hand starts moving
The exams at last end with ease.
The three hour dilemma, come to close,
The three months waiting starts its course
At last the results find their place,
Overwhelming joys on one side,
Frustrated weeps on the other side,
The victors trot along with the pride
The losers wander to hide.
