Birth Day

Birth Day
P K Routray
Can you define a birth day?
Why do you celebrate it with joy?
Is it for losing one precious year of your life,
Or are you overjoyed because you have withstood the passing year’s struggle and strife?
Let us ponder,
to find our an answer.
This is the only day when we cried but mother smiled,
we celebrate it to remember a rarest occasion to pay our gratitude to her as her child.
