Birthday



Today is the day I was born,
Was as little as size of a corn,
The day I gave everyone joy,
They played with me like a toy.

Neither had haters nor friends,
Didn't even knew that life ends,
Little heart with no selfishness,
Didn't even knew that life is business,
Happiness was as immortal as honey,
Didn't even knew that life requires money.

With time many things learned,
Wisdom's the purest currency to be earned,
I know it will take many tries,
Am unstoppable till proud tears in those eyes,
How? That's a mystery,
But will surely repeat the history,
Will give them again joy,
Nope! Nobody can play with me like a TOY.
