Reunion.

Came across a lovely poem.

The topper of the class,
is a happy Homemaker.
Back bencher of the lot,
is an Entrepreneur.

The flambuoyant fashionista,
Became a dreaded Lawyer.
Often ignored Joe,
turned a well known Writer.

The one who failed in math paper,
is a Fashion Designer.

And one who often got to stand outside
the class, is a respected Army Officer.

The reunion taught me,
How people come with many layers,
And told me why we should never judge a book by its
cover.

Each child out there has a different success story!!!

USAGE.

"I don't know if this was nature's own
little shock therapy or just the peace
that passeth understanding like it's
standing still, the kind you get from
knowing that you have taken life's
best Sunday punch and you're still
standing, figuratively".
