Birthday Musings

He asked, 'Ah! What's so special?
Nothing great about birthdays Sheetal..
Never celebrated it before,
Not even when I was four!'

She remembered her birthday memories ,
Such a happy childhood with no worries.
'Aww' she thought 'for his next birthday,
Will surprise him and make him smile.. Yay!'

For months she planned,
And wanted to make it grand,
Finally so special he felt on that day,
Overjoyed to see everything that she organized from May!

But few months later he said the same thing ,
'I don't like cakes, why celebrate and sing?'
Oh! all the positive feelings started to melt,
'Had he forgotten how good he felt?'

Birthdays & anniversaries,
Why did she love these?
Thought and pondered,
Racked her brains and wondered .

Finally she turned to God and asked ,
'Am I silly to celebrate each year that has passed?'
HE said 'it is a milestone in your life, my dear,
So celebrate life and each day without fear.

Be thankful and grateful,
For life is so beautiful,
And enjoy it while it lasts,
As each day will just go by so fast!'
