God is the mentor, we the protégé <br />In this school of life <br />Most valuable of all degrees <br />Most toughest of all exams <br />Knowledge grows through self experience <br />Failure makes us strong <br />God conducts innumerous tests <br />To test our tolerance and make us better <br />The course duration varies <br />But time is trifling <br />The achievements are vital <br />When you complete your course <br />And depart from this school <br />The number of hearts you touched <br />Is your real degree <br />The number of people you enthused <br />Is your real marks <br />The number of souls remembering you <br />Is your true success in this exam<br /><br />Kavitha Krishnamurthy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-school-of-life/
