My School Playground
As I first stepped on to it
It was thrilling & terrifying
Letting go of Mamma's hands
Shivering scared on alien land
Faces around me reflected my plight
Some screamed in fear,some in delight
A girl near me looked at me
Through the tears we did bond
Taking my hand hers she led
Together we found a bench, sat down
Then an Angel with a divine smile
Soothed us all with her calming voice
Slowly the fear in us subsided
Sound of giggles & laughter spread
The strangers around once scary
Gradually became my dear friends
As the bell rang tiffin boxes opened
Wafting a plethora of tempting smells
Sharing mine and tasting theirs
Sweet sour spicy mixed tastes all
Texture different, colours varied
Became then the crux of our bond
Although from miscellaneous background
Culture, habits, religion, skin colour
Nothing mattered when class in one uniform
Over the year the bond strengthened
Friendship & love bloomed
Ever so bright & radiant ..
