"A Drop on the leaf"- by B.Gouravi Goud from Bsc .Zcfs 2nd year

A single drop on the morning leaf,

Clings to the edge, silent and brief.

Born from the sky in a whispering fall,

It holds the world in a sphere so small.

It shimmers bright in the soft sunbeam,

A quiet echo of a fading dream.

No thunder speaks, no lightning near 

Just gentle stillness, pure and clear.

It knows it can’t forever stay,

The breeze will call it soon away.

Yet in that pause, before the flight,

It lives a lifetime in the light.

"FOREVER MY FIRST HOME : DADDY" - By Udhari Arundhati of B.A HEP second year.

In your arms, I found my peace,

Your love made all my doubts release.

You call me “Aru” with that soft old tone,

Still missing the child you once had known.

You remember every laugh, every tear,

Every little memory we once held near.

We cooked together, we drove so far,

You made me stronger than what men are.

You’re my strength, my fire, my pride,

The only hand I need by my side.

This life I’m your daughter, your light, your grace.

Next life, I’ll be your mother… in every embrace.

I LOVE DADDY❤️
