Fascination about birthdays
excitement over that special day
the fun that comes with it freely
and the joy that brings to the child naturally
could be expressed in no way.
The child about four to ten mostly
feels at the top of the world intensely
as eyes run round her keenly
while she is cutting the cake gleefully
hearing the Happy Birthday cries.
The tempo goes on for ever almost
as certain individuals on the most
go through the same thrill utmost
with an even more exaltation foremost
as they cut their cake happily
with
ninety-one candles lit.
Birthdays bring joy for children primarily
with a new dress and a celebration regularly
while the seniors go with the rituals fervently
with a fear in mind and a desire to have a longevity
hoping not to suffer any malady and illness
but badly wanting to extend life with a fullness.

One reply on “The Call Of Birthdays.”
I’ve wondered about those who wish not to celebrate their birthdays when they get older…as if that some how stops time.
