Happy Birthday


And have all the blessings
Of the day, if you believe in it!
Mothers are indeed our
First and best blessing!
          One can’t rightly think of
          One’s birthday without
          Ever thinking of one’s mother!
You must also be
Having a mother
Whom you may not
Like to think of, or
Rather her thoughts
Prick you, may be…
          She can’t but
          Think of her children,
          Even when they don’t.
          That is a mother!
          A truth beyond grasp!
A mother won’t
Rather can’t curse
Her children even when
They hurt her beyond limit!
That again is a mother!
          Even when mothers forgive
          Every possible onslaught,
          Gods may not,
          Because mothers are
          Gods personified, if not beyond…
Procrastinate not to
Reconcile with her
Before ever losing
That chance to shed
Your tears on her bosom,
And be washed of
All possible stains and
Be worthy of her blessings!
To remain ever blessed!
Happy Birthday!
