My Birthday
My Birthday
My Birth day dawned.
Morning made me happy and gay
So many Phone calls,
wishing Very Happy Birth day.
Waited for the desired call,
that did not come.
Family busy to arrange Party,
friends are welcome.
My ears were waiting,
special call to receive sharp.
Morning rolled into noon,
I could not give up.
I became almost sure,
you must be coming in afternoon.
Morose afternoon ended,
and merged in evening soon.
Party was bright with guests,
friends and relatives enjoyed.
Posies of flower spread on table,
Precious gifts I could not avoid.
I greeted all well- wishers,
eagerly waiting for you in vain.
I suppressed my dismay,
no alternative, I had to restrain.
Party was over,
I bade bye to each guest.
I had to retire in bed,
I had to take rest.
Only hope was left,
In dream, I might be in touch,
Last expectation I cherished,
last desire was not that much.
Dream also cheated me,
I could not meet thee.
I turned older,
one year bade bye to me.
