Life ,the Alchemist

The nest called home
The wings given by parents
To fly and also to come back
The peer group where words are cool
The building where life's letters and numbers are on display
Called school
The hall of fame
Varsity of dudes and the lone dame
All out there to teach us
Transform us
Mould us
From ordinary to sparkling
Life is an alchemy.
