Spread love

Love is light

Which is bright

Love tells us

Not to fight.

Don’t hate others

Or they’ll also hate you

If you love them

They’ll also love you.

— Suraj Roy, Class VII, Kathmandu Xavier’s Public School

Let’s be on time

Punctuality is an essential part of our life

It is also an essential part of nature

We can learn so many things from nature

It is an open book for us

There is punctuality in the movement

Of the sun, the moon and the stars

The seasons change their cycle on time

Therefore, everything is well in the world.

— Aparmita Shakya, Emerald Academy

Tall, tall tree

You just stand there still

But even as you stand and stare

You give relief

To our burning eyes

You protect us from landslides

You save us from

deadly floods

You give us plenty

of rain

And help farmers a lot

You provide fresh,

cool air

For the whole world

to share.

You are home to many wild animals

Birds build nest in

your breasts

Woodpeckers make home in your trunk

Wild bees and wasps make their hives

You shelter them from wind and rain

You are their caretaker, a perfect supplier.

But selfish woodcutters slaughter you

You cry in agony and pain

Yet even after your

untimely death

You still help us a lot

You give us paper to write

You provide us glue to paste.

You supply us wood

for shelter

And to cook our daily food

So, let’s join our hand

And protect the tree

Let’s not try to stab

Someone that give us

precious life.

— Sarah Maharjan, Class VI, St Mary’s High School
