SCHOOL IS SACRED

Students writing the National Secondary School examination in Kenya.

the first teacher of life.

And when mother is no match,

to growing restless bundles,

for school is sacred.

In school I learnt values,

that humanity is divine.

for school can make the world,

a better place to live.

For school is sacred.
