Bring Along Your Smile

be like the blooms,
of srinagar's tulip gardens,
be the riot of colors,
red, purple, white, golden and all,
be like the spring in the step,
come winter, spring, summer, or fall
be the rainbow on earth,
and the harbinger of good times,
that spread the smiles,
across those thousands of miles

be like the waves,
that roll and surf over the beaches,
that never leave each other,
but cling together,
as they ebb and flow,
as they inspire the breeze,
fill the hearts with joy,
and bring along the smiles
across many thousands of miles

be like the stars,
that twinkle and let my heart tickle,
that come together to light up the skies,
and never try to outshine,
that spread the smiles,
and tread thousands of miles

be the angels,
that ring in life in my school,
come! enjoy, life is a song,
carve those bonds - deep and strong,
sketch the memories,
that will thrive all along,
exams will come and go,
you sure will shine, and come ashore,
but bring along your bubbly smile,
and do light up each and every while!
