I Love You, Mom

              By Pragati Khanna

You are always there when I call

Always there to pick me up when I fall

Always there to manage all

But I always forget to thank you

Thank you mom for whatever you do

Thank you for making it a home from a zoo

I have realized why you taunt

Only to tell me what I really want

Only to guide me to the right direction

I wonder why don't you show your affection

And today I write this poem to tell you that it hurts  when you speak with harshness in your voice

I just smile and walk away, I don't have a choice

I can't cry and make you feel worse

You still are the best thing in the universe

I'm writing this poem to tell you

I want you to love me like you really do.

My First Day of School

                                        by Pragati Khanna

My first day of school

Was very cool

Some things went wrong

But they made me strong

I saw new faces

They brought memories in traces

Of my old friends 

As they followed same trends

They came to me and tried to talk

And then we went for a long walk

I like them they are nice

They're happy and wise

Teachers here are friendly

But some might be deadly 

Last I would say

Trying not to be jay

East or West my school is the Best!
