Friendship, so sweet a word
so great a relationship
Childhood, so common a phase
so fond a memory
The memories of childhood friends
so dear, everyone loves to cherish
never can they perish
for kids only knew the art
of being pure at heart
Mighty Sunanth, Quarrelsome Suneel,
a be calm Sravan, an artworm Suman,
Innocent Pavan and elderly Veera
Tall Sreeman, Short Raghava and Sreenu
laughing boy Sudheer,duo srikanth
My first friend Rajeswari, Next friend Malleswari,
decent Sushma , lovely Swarna,
Misunderstood Asha, aptly named Madhuri
talkative Sai and tall Madhavi , short kiranmayi
twin pairs Kamakshi and Meenakshi,Salini and Sireesha
squirrel Sailaja and irregular Krishnaveni
many more unmentioned but not unnoticed
are the first flowers in my friendship garden
ever blossoming
always we play, often we quarrel
keen to study, eager to learn
active in extracurricular,everything is particular
I still remember, everyone of us shouted aloud "Yes",
when science teacher asked us "Do you know Sound Sleep?"
her waves of laughter drove to shore
when we all replied it as Snore.
We are very competitive to get first
in the Telugu Dictation and in Social class work
We used to complete homework in intervals
and play games in lunch
We are suspicious of everyone and everything
in the month of april, not to be get fooled
gone are those days, but we aren't sad
for our roots are with us.
Now, some are doing jobs,some are a searching mob
some are married, some became parents
but still when we meet we are the same old kids
what if we grow old, our memories glitter like gold
In the coming years, all of us may have our own families
but even when we become grandparents,
we do not get rid of these qualities.
