JOURNEY WITH MY NEW COMPASSION
FRIEND Poem

My mission today is really very tough
Hello, Today I will tell about my journey with a new friend
I need to find the gem of compassion!
Covid-19.
Well I can't do it alone; I need my friends from planet Earth
No one knows about my friend’s place of origin. Nobody I jumped into my rocket with my puppy beside me

wants to be with my friend. If my new friend is with some-

But now the cat is nowhere to be seen!
At least I have the gem I thought to myself
Now I know what compassion is like!
It took us some time to get used to the lockdown rules and
regulations, but I knew slowly but surely we were going to get

used to it. Time went by like lightning, and my family and I got
used to the lockdown rules and regulations.

When our school was about to reopen, decision was taken to

start e-learning. It was unusual at first but still we adapted.
