Happy Birthday

Happy birthday..... Birthdays comes and goes in every year but few remains with us as golden memories Its a special day to celebrate with loved ones Although, the years carry our age away but every aged year brings happiness into our heart Life is full of ups and down, weary or teary but life goes always with smile instead of frown The candles have been blown off to say good bye to old year and then the cake is cut to say welcome to new age The birthday song sung to forget the world and the birthday wishes keep pouring to live more When the birthday gifts are overflowing on the table and impatient face is glowing to open them. Dine and wine are served unlimited Music followed by dance to remember unforgettable day 'Happy Birthday To You' that is last words that we hear from each and everyone and again the drums are silent for another year to come.

Hi Ravi, such a celebration you are having in this great rhyme but after a certain age people don't regard birthdays with the same enthusiasm. Believe me, I know! :)

Thanks for stopping by my work..I put that line in about Love and intend to write a poem about "Love spoke to me" just have not had the right time to work on finishing it..I like your work about birthdays..At my age it is always good to live to see another one..It is good that your family celebrates them in such a great manner..Somehow I feel that this poem maybe carries a hidden message..Soup Mail soon..Sara
