On your birthday..

by purva bhatia   Mar 3, 2006


I thought of gifting you on this day,
the fragnance ......of the choicest flowers;
or a handful of heaven's blessed showers,
Or, wrap up for you .....the beautiful moon
....and with it, the shinning- twinkling stars too...
I then thought of capturing ....
the beauty of a rising sun for you
or get a handful of the sky so blue.
To this however i had a little doubt,
So I thought of getting
a basket full, of the floating clouds....
I then searched for you....
a box ! filled .......with summer dew,
and a frame of a splendid winter evening view........
I searched the markets, I searched the streets..
......but I found none of these
And now I have nothing
to offer you as a gift,
only a simple prayer n a simple wish..
that may you have a long n a wonderful life,
with much less struggle and strife..
May all your dreams soon come true..
dont forget to thank your
lucky stars that you're you.
Also on this day, wish to let you know
how much I appreciate n love you......

*wrote it for a dear friend for his birthday. think its the best gift i have ever given....
