On My Birthday

In the new year, 

I met some new persons

Wishing me "Happy Birthday"

With my best friend. 

First came a beautiful lady

Adorned with many colourful flowers, 

Keeping a smile on her face, 

Wished me. 

But...after some moment cried silently

Remembering all her past days. 

I asked, "who are you? "

She said, "I am peace. "

"I'll help you sans violence, sans jealousy. "

"Will you be my friend forever? "

"No one wants my company for an hour".

Then I saw a young man 

With sparkling eyes and a dazzling face. 

Bedecked with stars, 

He expressed his lovely wishes. 

While I was in deep thought, 

The earth felt the touch of divine feet. 

I was surprised to hear

The voice of an innocent child. 

Breaking my daydream, 

Asked the child,

"Will you make me your guide? "

I laughed. 

What! 

Can be a child my guide? 

Just then, 

I discovered two gift packs in its hand. 

Those were nothing, 

But meeting and departure;

And with these feelings, 

The child wished me, 

"Happy new year".

Among my new friends, 

I thought, "where is my best friend? "

Not yet come. 

Just then, 

I saw someone with lots of gifts, 

 smile on face, 

Love in eyes, 

Books in hands.

Sans violence, 

Sans feign, 

Sans jealousy, 

He wished me a bright future.

On my birthday in the new year. 

I opened my eyes, 

Looked at the world,

Upon my honour;

Promised to make friendship 

With all I met in the new world. 

On my heart and soul, 

Professed my love 

To my best friend. 

Oh! 

He is none, 

But my dear God.
