Today she walks the path of school A neophyte of lore, To leave her carefree childhood days Behind home's sheltered door. Down the long laborious road She starts with apprehension, New things hither-to unknown Will multiply the tension. Somehow like falling autumn leaves A sadness seems to reign, Within the silent walls of home That likens grief and pain. Another live evolves today In search of erudition, All things imbibed along the way Will mold her future mission. |
