A Beacon of Hope - A poem by P S Narayanan Namboodiripad

 A Beacon of Hope

In this holy hall of learning, bright and true,

Where dreams take flight and visions are in view,

Each day unfolds a story, fresh and new,

A canvas vast, awaiting each of you.

From the dawn’s first light to twilight’s gentle fall,

You stand as scholars, proud and tall,

With minds so keen, hearts brave and strong,

You are the rhythm in this school's song.

Through corridors of knowledge, you stride with grace,

Every challenge met, you embrace,

With curiosity as your guiding star,

You reach for wisdom near and far.

Teachers, mentors, friends by your side,

Together, on this journey, we all ride,

In labs and fields, on courts and stages,

Your passion ignites, a flame that engages.

In laughter and in trials, you grow each day,

Learning to lead, to dream, to play,

The future's light shines in your eyes,

A promise of hope, a dawn that will rise.

Remember, dear students, as you tread this path,

Each step you take, each question you ask,

Shapes the world in which you'll play your part,

With courage, kindness, and a generous heart.

So, hearth ahead with heads held high,

Reach for the stars in the boundless sky,

In this school, your dreams take wing,

With every lesson, let your spirits sing.

For you are the future, bright and bold,

With stories yet to be told,

And as your principal, I take great pride,

In the journeys you'll embark, far and wide.

May your days here be filled with light,

With friendships dear and futures bright,

In this place where knowledge flows,

May you find the strength to grow.

So here's to you, our shining stars,

No dream too distant, no goal too far,

With hearts full of wonder, minds open wide,

Step into the world, with us by your side.
