Deserted classrooms,
desolate corridors
No shouts in the playground
No footsteps on the floor
For ten months, the school-
Closed, expectant, quiet
The heartbeat missing,
No sound, no sight
On 18th January
TAFS reopened its doors
Precautions in place,
welcomed students to school once more
Happy faces, chatty friends
Entered through these gates in scores
Laughter and sunshine
Flood the rooms like before
Excitement to meet friends, teachers
And prepare for the Board exams ahead
Practice, Revise, Discuss.
Problems get smaller when shared
This journey is challenging
It feels different from the rest
But children, we are in this together
Let us work again with each other for the best.
