She silently wished herself a happy day
As she dwelled in the morning breeze,
She waited for the sun to show itself on the horizon
A moment one would want to freeze.
She had images flashing in her head
A mango tree, a pebbled street,
A swimming pool, a crowded canteen,
A group huddled together in the Lachung chill,
One smiling face, ten partners in crime,
Each day a new chapter, each chapter a memorable one.
Then she stood in front of the mirror for a while
Devotion, inspiration, thoughtfulness and dreams
Disappointment, disregard, discomfort and hurt,
Each word proved she had cried a little,
Each word proved she had smiled a lot.
The mountain clouds, a perfect view
New experiences she will always pursue,
Another day, another milestone too
The person staring back at her,
The person staring back at her,
Gently whispered, “Happy Birthday to you”.
