When studying,
My mind sometimes wavers to past
& slowly then the spell of retrospect is cast
Come to my mind memories of things not many but one
And I wonder is that all for me to think, under the sun
May be I guess I am not that good at moving on
Which is why, all other things fail the criterion
The only thing that occupies my mind’s platter
I must tell you know is my ALMA-MATER
Now! I won’t set out to tell you stories of yore
Coz you know! They are kind of ubiquitous & bore
And as it is, story tellers are many but listeners scarce
So words falling on deaf ears may just be a farce
Hence, my purpose here is like a ‘tweet’
SHORT, SIMPLE & SWEET
& that is to express the heartfelt gratitude
On behalf of Georgians of great multitude
Thanks for the care you catered to us
Thanks for bearing with our fuss & cuss
Thanks for being ever more tolerant
Thanks for nursing us like our own parent
We may well say a billion thanks
But they may not suffice
to satiate our sense of gratitude,
for such is your role in our making
that we shudder to imagine our lives otherwise
