Avani Ganeshe, Class 9, OLF Sr. Sec. School, Gurugram
Once upon a time The feet set over the greeny grass With the guiding hands that followed Cause even a slit of up or down could make me trip on the way The house was full of laughter With us going here and there Old granny would scold us right away But continue laughing inside The feet set over the greeny grass Today my feet set over a barren land And now there’s no hand to guide They say I could walk for now I wonder if ever could I No laughs no giggles Alone do I stand I wonder where the green grass go
