The forgotten note

Saanvi Jain, AIS Mayur Vihar, VIII C

One day, a teenage girl named Emily, who lived in a small town, was walking home from school when she saw a small, folded piece of paper on a park bench and picked it up. It was a note written in a shaky handwriting.
“Please know that you are not alone. There is always hope, even in the darkest of times. You are loved.” Emily was touched by the note’s message, so she kept it, wondering who had written it. That night, Emily couldn’t stop pondering about the note and all the people who might benefit from it. She decided to spread the kindness by leaving notes around the town. She spent the next evening writing notes and left one on the park bench and another one in the local coffee shop. Emily continued to leave notes around town, and soon people noticed her doing so and started writing back to her.
One Saturday, when Emily went to the local coffee shop to leave another note, the barista surprised her with a note that was left for her, instead. It read: “Dear Emily, I found one of your notes in this coffee shop a few weeks ago. I was having a really hard time, and your note gave me hope. Thank you. It meant a lot.” Emily was exhilarated to hear that her notes were making a difference.
The more notes Emily left; the more people wrote back to her. They told her their stories and thanked her for the hope she had given them. Emily realised that her simple act had created a community of hope and happiness.
A year later, she returned to the park bench where it had all began. To her surprise, there was another note waiting for her. It was from the person who had written the original note. The letter read:”Dear Emily, I never thought anyone would find my note. I was going through a tough time and did not know where to turn. But seeing your notes around town, and hearing how they’ve impacted others, has given me hope. Thank you for what you’re doing. You’re making a huge difference in so many lives.”
Emily was overjoyed to hear from the person who had written the note that had inspired her. She knew that her journey had come full circle and realised that a few words can change someone’s life.

His strength and love

Aditri Dash, AIS Navi Mumbai, IX A

A bond so strong and true
A father’s love shines through
In every smile and every tear
A bond that’s always near

With a gentle touch of a hand
He leads his child across the land
Teaching them to stand and fall
And always be strong and tall

His heart beats faster and bright
With joy and love in one sight
For the little ones he adores
And the memories they create

Through laughter and tears
He’s there to wipe away fears
Showers them with love and light
Every single day and night

His love is so pure and true
A magical thing for all to view
And with this love, they’ll grow
And shine with the brightest glow.

It’s Me
