The Thrill Is Gone

Going to school, meeting colleagues & students,
pulled off my time
Sharing tons of laughters,was a shrill of joy
Explaining the chapters with vivid examples gained 
a good rapport.
                           Exchanged bunch of happiness..


Pupils bustling around me,resembled like moon revolving around earth
Their cute little answers for the question I ask,bursted 
balloon of smile
The love and care they showered up on me has no limits.
                         Unconditional love is immeasurable...


Lovely students badged me as their young mother,
Coz they enjoyed my teaching and humour filled friendly classes
Colleagues loved me like a child and protected me like a flower.
                          Profession plunged with fondness...
              

Now, we sit in our homes,fearing the pandemic cause
Drowned in grief,hearing to news channel's,incurring high loss
Due to lockdown, standard of living has gone for a toss. 
                            Disastrously the thrill is gone....
