Rhyme Time
Path of my life

In the dazzling sun

In the path of my life

So many hurdles

But do not cry

Just aim for the sky

No need to think how to fly

Just spread your wings

And start the flight

Sweat yourself

Till you reach

That smile of your life

Arshita Sharma, 2nd year,

Can I hold his hand and make him cross the road

Can I carry his heavy load

Can I touch his weeping heart

Pass a smile and make him laugh

Can I accompany him in his solitude

Breaking my thwarting attitude

Can I unlock his worry

Which his heart stores and bury

Can I spread roses on his way

By struggling through certain thorns on my way

Can I bring a ray of hope on his face

By slowing down my own pace

Can I avert his negative thinking

And stop him from shrinking

Can I increase his importance in my life

When he feels rejected and deprive

Can I ever tell him how I feel opposite to the way I deal
