Wake up
sunshine
Its your
day
Everyday
is your day
But today
is the day you should let it sink in
As it
is your day of celebration
‘ama
rub it in
Yeah
right!
They say
You’re
a year older
So what
They ask
But they
can’t
They can’t
see how much you’ve grown
How much
has changed
How the
caterpillar has come out of its cocoon
How those
baby steps have become stable
How those
shaky hands have a better grip
Though not
extremely strong but so much better
And how
those fears have dissolved
And it’s
only a matter of time
Coz the
butterfly just came out
It simply
needs to let the sun
Lick up
the fluid on its wings
After which
it will fly
Stretching
beautifully in the sun
To the
amazement of all
Wait!
Is that
a dark spot I see?
What’s
in that spot?
Is that
pain
Pain acquired
on the path of growth
Stretching
it fingers on your antenna
No my
love
Don’t let
it take over
It
hurts but it must not inform and direct you
Or else
it will mislead you
Step out
of it
Take it
to the one who made you grow
So you don’t
live through it
And by
it
Coz it’s
a silent destroyer
So my
dear
Forget this
coming tide
It will
pass
And you’ll
float
Have a
wonderful year
You have
all my best wishes and love
Have a
blast!
