On this very birth day <br />I came to know I am <br />Going nearer and nearer <br />Towards death. <br />On this very birth day <br />I have forgotten the past <br />And I remember what to do <br />For the sake of future. <br />I came to know future is <br />No more here at this juncture <br />And I have nothing to make merry <br />As I have a lot of works <br />Still to complete to save myself <br />From the dark side of nature. <br />But I have to observe my birth day <br />Today itself with my friends and relatives <br />I know though no one of them can <br />Accompany me on the path I have to go. <br />On this very birth day <br />I recalled how I have lost <br />And still I have to light the candle <br />And see my world dazzle.<br /><br />gajanan mishra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-this-birth-day/
