The golden days begin to fade. Sun-drenched shores are left unmade.
The ferris wheels have gone to rest. Wild geese fly in an Autumnal quest.
Summer’s warmth a sweet adieu. A chilly breeze, a different hue.
The school books wait, the year grows old. A final tale for Summer told.
For all the students returning to school, we hope you had a lovely Summer break
and are looking forward to the new academic year ahead.
