65TH BIRTHDAY
Poem by Bharat P. Bedi
Today is my 65th Birthday,
I am puzzled indecisive,
what to do,
what not to do,
what to wish,
what not to wish,
should I buy new clothes,
which I have no need,
should I give a party,
or should I get a party,
should I do things,
which don’t enthuse me,
just to keep the façade,
just to feed accepted norms;
Today is my 65th Birthday,
I have got the ultimate
gift a man could ask,
God has bestowed
upon me, this year
a divine gift,
our love our life,
birth of an
angelic grandchild,
my only wish is that
God light up for me
the right path,
the only thing I ask for is
that God give me strength
to never waver away
from that right path,
I have nothing more to wish,
nothing more to ask,
I just pray to be
closer to my family,
my family closer to me;
Today is my 65th Birthday,
by God’s grace,
I have lived my life
to the fullest, I had
my share of struggle,
my share of strife,
boldly squarely faced,
I have taken it all
in my stride, I had
my share of happiness,
from scratch I started,
I have been lucky,
God has fulfilled
all my wants, given me
nearly everything,
I don’t have any cravings,
I am happy with self,
I am happy with life,
I am happy with
what I have got.
