At the speed of sound,

Water entered the coastal grounds.

Harshly, it touched the crowds,

And was the reason for their shrouds.

Oh! my beloved survivors,

You are the warriors.

Don’t be disheartened,

Nay! Let lives be enlightened,

Take it as a challenge,

So that we can make a drastic change.

Now you may be homeless

But never are we hopeless.

How beautiful the sun appears,

When it rises from its mountain bed.

Everything looks orange or red,

And the day wishes everyone good morning.

Then everyone’s alarm clocks start ringing,

And by noon, everyone starts sweating,

And children are pu to sleep.

Sun calms down by the evening,

By six or seven, kid are again ready for sleeping.

The sun says to us —

See you tomorrow,

Till then have a good night.

Like this, it brightens up our days

And brings warmth to our lives.

Knowledge gives confidence,

Confidence inspires enthusiasm,

Enthusiasm encourages work,

Work requires planning,

Planning fastens determination,

Determination impacts courage,

Courage breeds perseverance,

Tact, accompanies courtesy,

Courtesy leads to success.
