ODE TO MY ALMA MATER

It seems so distant, but in my mind I am already there,
Reminiscing those moments, so precious, so rare,
T'was the time we had crisp uniforms and a smirk to wear,
Those were the days when we were under our teachers' care,
The camaraderie, the laughter, the mischief and the stare,
Of strict teachers should a prank we dare,
Our teachers they taught us to learn and to share,
And told us that life wouldn't always be fair,
So we had to be open, had always to prepare,
And today we have a witness to bear,
We are ever so thankful to our Alma Mater!
