Shanti Harjani Williams


How beautiful and bright is your mind
I wonder how God has thy star perfectly designed

How the winks of thy eyes smile
That each one has a different style

How gracious life has become 
To set thy age in growing freedom

How great thy heart is
Hardly could my pen describes at ease

How mighty is thy pen's influence
Swinging humanity singing confluence

How love in poetry as a lovely art
Enacts love in thy audience heart

How glowing is thy face 
Can anyone easily have thy age's trace?

How on assumption will I suggest thy age
Except poetry gives muse to my pen's gauge

How for long have you had poetry as thy tongue?
May be I wouldn't mislabel thy hood, young 

How can I deny the face speaking 40+
Arguing you are on board in 50+ bus

How far you've been is unto thy birth
Do celebrate it in awesome mirth

How today goes with friends 
The designs of how atmosphere transcends 

How words classically cement history
Explains life ironical mystery

How name names your superimposing life
That each of your son wishes your photo-- a wife

How much better to define a real beauty
Whose activeness is in her connubial duty

Happy happy happy birthday, dear Shanti Harjani Williams
