(dedicated to the batch of 50's & 60's)
Where the memories of my childhood shall never fade-
Where my footprints shall stay where ever i may-
A portrait of golden ray from the eastern breeze-
Through the western sun down with divine picturesque.
Cast a line on thy crystal shore-
Shall bring a smile into the modest home-
Spirit of thy livelihood is alive and adorn-
With amazing vast blue waters- is a truly adore.
My vision from yester-years shall forever exist-
Elegant ladies and smart prominent varsities-
Graceful dancers in MAY festivities-
Where are they now…..just the good memories.
Best for the best throughout a final night-
COMPARZA costumes were fashionable and bright-
The SUMMER TIME dancers with their cling delights-
Against the MAY TIME dancers with their gorgeous alights.
Home of the known,the prominent, the beauty and the diligent-
Brought up within thy heart with love and patience
Although humble YOU may-YOU had brighten my way-
Into what and where am I know and thanks to YOU I may say.
Gone were those days of my youth-
Though afar-my heart remain for you as I should-
My footprints shall stay forever- I would-
In my beloved APARRI….THE LAND OF MY ROOTS.
