My alma mater St Joseph's convent, Ranjhi, Jabalpur. M P, India.
Young minds are nurtured here
Let us keep the environment clear
Like a gardener tends his nursery long
All means applied to reach the goal
Mind and spirit strengthened through learning
Young ones are the best for molding
Some grow up to become good priests
Yet others may conduct a heist
What makes the turn from good to bad
Is but a thin line which holds the bait
What ever factors take over the lives
The shift always should be to the right
Some soon get lost in the fight
Each to his own will take on the plight
But the ones that shine in bright light
Are those who focus on the long sight
Some are wild and horrid in youthful pride
But as years turn on they grow mild
There may be yet others who peak
In the golden years so much they seek
But the early learning grooming years
Will be the benchmark in the long haul

Bravo for raising the standard for excellence to a new level.
Is but a thin line
How so sadly true.
Thank you for such a meaningful poem!!
