On Retirement

G. Somaseshu

For more than three decades you served
You put your heart and soul in work untired
On righteous path you trod;  you never swerved;
Gladly you ran your race - how soon retired!

Your acts of prudence, help and advice
Succoured a lot and made them wise
As long as this institution stays
It speaks of your noble acts always.

A noble example in you we find
For honest, noble acts so kind
To cherish and follow - a light to our mind
Unshaken by worldly snares which bind.

In all fields of knowledge you tried
Your skill and talent: you have infused
Interest in others and made them abide
By rules, utilising their skills un-used.

Untouched by pride of status and skill
With brotherly touch and industry
You gladdened others to work with thrill
Cultivating team-work and amity.

Sloth and dishonesty you forbade
Timely action you took with merciful thoughts
By generous and helpful acts you made
Your noble image within our hearts.

Your noble mien and benign eyes
Disarmed the students’ furious cries
Your sage and experienced advice
Did cool their hearts and made them wise.

(Dedicated to our ideal Principal)
