MORE TIME TO PLAY

It was a cool and bright  day ,

after the long dark starry  night .

With my little sister ,I ventured out to play .

We were feeling just right

and  the weather was pleasant and gay.

The park near our house was a lovely sight.

My friends and many other children were in close sight.

We  ran and played through out the whole day

and our minds were feeling fresh and gay .

We felt unhappy thinking of the coming  dark night ,

as we had to be home before dark ,that was just  right.

We  planned to gather indoors  to continue our play.

We  were thinking ,we never get enough time to play.

Why doesn't the day always remain in sight ?

But the night says ,"that just wouldn't be right "

God why don't we have more holidays with longer days,

and a very very short night .

All the children in this world would feel happy and gay .

It seems now ,no more getting so  gay ,

as we will hardly get any time to play .

Now we all want to have a long restful night ,

because  the end of the school vacation is in sight .

Today is our school vacations last day 

its going to be more work and less play,thats Isn't just right.

We march to the school assembly ,left and right.

Meeting my schoolmates after the vacation  makes me feel gay .

Its maths,science,history,geography and english the whole day.

We get only a very small break to play .

At last the last school period is in sight ,

we will really feel very very tiered  to night .

On schooldays  we pray we have a long ,long night,

because we want to sleep more , right.

 Being woken up early morning for school,is a pathetic sight .

Rushing to get ready for school is far from feeling gay .

I wish today was a holiday so that we could play .

Why cant we have more vacations and less school days ?

Dear God We dont like the sight of long school days and a short night .

We pray instead for more  holidays ,that  would be just right.

Dear God  please make us happy and gay and give us lots of time to play .
