Poem – Riddhi Singhania, Class X DArt – Vasudha Gupta, Class X D
(Inspired by A J Cronin’s Two Gentlemen of Verona)
The war had come
And left them all alone
But they didn’t find a cause
That could make them moan.
They kept their spirits high
Worked hard to reach the sky.
They sold fruits, hawked papers,
Gave tours, shined shoes.
They had no time to lose.
They had their sister
Suffering from disease.
Every week these two
Had to pay the lease.
We saw them day and night
Determination all ablaze
Which left us all amazed!
