Birthday

Birthday...

Should I be happy, Should I be sad.

Should I enjoy, Or should I feel bad.

Yeah its right , I came in this world today,

But..alas....today my life got shortened by one day.

Last year on this day I was supposed to live 20 more years,

but now......Now only 19 are left.

The days will go on, my birthdays will pass by,

then will come the one day when...when...when the song of celebration will turn into requiem and I will die.

Nice composition...just a trifle gloomy but true nonetheless!!

In tough times u'll always find two hands eagerly waiting to help you. And those hands will be at the end of ur own arms!

I enjoyed this poem. Birthday ~ it's just another trip around the sun and a special day for your life. It's difficult to adjust to how we age, because when we are young, we think the prime of life will never change. But change is good, if you believe in the beauty of all aspects of life.

Thank you for leaving your comment on my blog.
