My Life's Greatest Gift

To my friends, who totally forgot my birthday accidentally… I am not sure if this is something I should tell you or not But obviously I know that I want to tell you this right now Truth is, for a while I felt ashamed, grief and sorrow on that day But then, it suddenly went away. I understood something which I can't guess right or wrong. But most probably it may be right, I thought. This concept of 'greeting happy birthday on a particular day of every year' Seemed to be something empty, but not much dear It always make me feel more older and older, from where I can't go back To my beloved past full of amazing memories, but only can stay looking at that I was born several years ago, and that was my real, real bornday Hey, but I don't totally humiliate wishing happy birthday I see that as a great opportunity where we can show our true gratitudes And love and care and all heartiest feeling towards our beloveds Also I know, every living being on this earth wish to earn those So don't measure me as a heathen or a crazy ghost There’s something I want to say you by and by About what I believe as the greatest gift of my life I don't really care about any missing greetings in my side That’s you my friends, whose love made me cry and cry

This is such a heart touching piece Chathurya..Once I encountered the same thing when a very good friend of mine actually forgot to wish me on my birthday..But afterward, though I felt a bit bad, but realized that love between friends cannot be determined by just a wish and she still is a lovely friend of mine. Keep on writing and sharing your lovely poems :) ~Harshita
