Dignity
You get dignity,
When you stop thinking wrong
When you do what you learn right
You can live dignified,
When you live a lifestyle that,
matches your vision.
You can get dignity
when you renounce the “ego of individuality”.
and rejoice ups and downs of life.
There is dignity,
when you have good thoughts,
in your heart and mind.

Summer
The warmth on my skin,
The heat on my face,
Humidity in the air,
The sweat after a race.
Longer days with fun and joy,
Is what summer brings.
The sky in a brilliant shade of blue,
And so many more things.
The cold, tingling feeling of the pool,
As our skin gives a sigh of relief.
Our minds thinking of the lazy days,
When nobody is in grief.
The sun shines merrily above the horizon,
Sharing its heat and light.
A smile on everybody’s face,
As our hearts are filled with delight!

Love for the Mother Earth
Lovely as a Tree
I think I shall never see,
A poem lovely as a tree.
I like to see a pink flower,
But I don’t like to see plucked flower.
I like to hear the bird’s rhymes,
But I don’t like to do crimes.
I like to see plants increase,
But I don’t like to see plants decrease.
To plant a tree we take more time, To destroy a tree we take less time.
To destroy a tree we take less time.
Save trees for our generation.

Floating Lights

The Ocean
As I look from the edge of the ocean,
Glimmering golden, for it’s almost dawn,
So many waves coming towards me,
And yet I know, there’s a lot more going on.
The ocean stretches for miles around,
So many creatures with fins and gills,
So many miles below the ground.
The waves are splashing closer and closer,
As I realise the world is bigger than it seems,
As I stare into the ocean,
In golden light, it gleams.

Mother’s Love
One big oak tree,
Which was very hollow,
On it rested,
The nest of a swallow.
The swallow had babies,
In her little home,
Soon the mother flew away,
For food in a dome.
Just then a hunter came,
For the meat in the nest.
With ruthless thoughts,
He was a pest.
The mother came back,
And fought with the crook.
She got scratches everywhere,
But did not hide in a nook.
The she-bird flew away,
With her children, she snatched.
For a mother’s love,
Can never be matched.
Seeing the will-power,
Of the little swallow,
The hunter was taken aback,
And left the tree hollow.
-Adya Tripathi
TRY, TRY AND TRY
Once there was a boy
And everyone thought,
He was a useless guy.
He always Failed,
In every exam
Be it First second or third,
Or the last, Final term.
Once he saw an art,
Who was trying to climb a wall.
Fell down, but tried again,
And then it did not
This lit up his inner soul,
He worked harder to achieve his goals.
And one day he went up so high,
That he Finally touched the sky!
IF you too want achievements,
Never, ever cry.
Just set your goals and aims,
And try try and try.

Our Motherland
The land of diversity,
Where people live in harmony.
Different cultures and customs,
And different castes and religions
Our history today tells us all,
About great leaders and freedom fighters’ sacrifice,
Who all were very wise.
Our country was protected,
Because they protested.
The Himalayas have worn a crown,
Giving birth to some of the greatest rivers,
The atmosphere here is filled with serenity,
Creating a nature that is very pretty!

One Moment
One moment I was in the air,
Above the clouds, nowhere to be found.
One moment I was below the Earth,
In its core I was bound.
One moment I was in a palace,
And the other in a cottage so small.
One moment I was happy with a stick
And the other, I hated my expensive ball.
Time changes as we go,
We can’t follow it; it just goes,
Time is precious
So this is what we learnt folks!

Stars
Countless stars in the sky,
I love to see them in the night.
When they twinkle in the night,
They bring to my heart, delight.
One shines, while another is shooting,
Everyone holds their breath while looking,
They come out in the night and hide in the day,
They steal my heart, in the month of May.
They brighten up the dark sky,
That is why we find them nice.
Countless stars in the sky,
I love to see them in the night.

Thoughts
I’ll be as bold as a hill,
and stand tall to face all hurdles.
I’ll be as soft as a breeze
and bring pleasure and treasure.
I’ll be as fast as a wave,
washing away all stones coming in my way.
I’ll bring fame and never shame;
I’ll shine as bright as a star;
I’ll fight all obstacles with all my might;
But nobody knew that it was my last night.

Never Give Up
If I made a mistake,
then I would have to retake,
and do it once again,
even feel the pain.
But there also lays a prize,
and that made me realise that,
even if I was to fail,
it would be a learning trail.
If I hope for medals and a cup,
I can’t just rely on luck
I must do hard work,
to show the world my worth.
That’s the essence of never giving up!

Friendship
Either winter or monsoon
spring or summer,
this unsinkable ship,
floats forever.
This is my only lifeboat,
on which I can survive.
It is warmer than anything else,
and has always helped me to revive.

Schools can be fun
School can be fun if you want it to be,
So much more interesting for you and me.
Science, maths, history, so much to choose from,
It keeps us engrossed night and morn!
Why should we be bored? There is a lot to know
Very interesting things to learn about, so let’s go!
Think of those who can’t go to school,
They are many in number, not very few.
So all the benefits of learning, we should reap,
As through each stage of life we leap.
School can be fun if you want it to be,
So much more interesting for you and to me.
