Will you come with me, my dear friends For one more trip to catch frogs? You may think that I am mad Take it only as an unfulfilled wish. Will anyone of you forget that memorable day? When we just went for catching frogs? None of us thought that it would be fine But all is well that ends well. The memories of that day will remain in us Wherever we go in this materialized world. That thrilling and adventurous experience Will make us happy when we think of it. We don�t know what made us to go Just got interested and started for frogs. Our interests reached greater heights As our journey progressed to the unseen deep. I am not sure whether we�ll recognize the places Where we roamed in that starlit midnight. Many of us were traveling there for the first time Without any fear and with much spirit. The day we realized the importance of team spirit Will make us remember about it forever. I am sure that none of us can forget Each and every second of our expedition. The night was cold and silent as death Except for the croaking of those unlucky frogs. Some of them were lucky to escape from us But still some were awaiting their way to heaven. We got pleasure in dissecting the frogs Which were also the creations of Him. But we are sorry to all those �martyrs� As �one should decay for another�s benefit�. When we think of this after so many years We wont be able to forget that cold war. The �war� which made our class to simply quarrel Only in the name of those big-eyed creatures. All other classmates called us selfish Without thinking what made us to be selfish. Many of our friends who missed our trip Were not in a mood even to speak to us. We thought that we were doing the right thing Without thinking about others� feelings. Lets wish that time will prove That we were not selfish like what everyone thought. Let us ask sorry to our dear friends Who felt very bad because of our misconduct. Please try to forgive us, our dear friends If you felt that we were doing the wrong thing. How can we depart my dear friends? Don�t know how to say �good-bye� to all. If we are lucky, we can meet again Otherwise, we can satisfy it in our memories. If we are lucky enough to meet again Let us go for one more frog catching. But our experiences may not be the same Even if we try to make it a better one. |
