Awaiting

Dear Valley,

The gates await the heels,

The dogs await the caress,

The plants await the dress.

The trees miss the chatter,

The classrooms miss the murmur,

The dining hall misses the clatter.

We discover a child in us on Sports Day,

We see the pride of teachers on Open Day,

We celebrate with the Valley family on Mela Day.

Computers are the new classroom,

Google is the new class,

Zoom is where we greet,

It's virtually, we all meet.

Await the day we meet ‘n greet,

Await the day we show ‘n tell,

Await the day we meet in flesh ‘n blood.

We will sail this difficult time,

With the spirit of The Valley in chime.

Happy Birthday Valley
