A Birthday Gift For You(For Daniel Brick) Poem by Bharati Nayak
A Birthday Gift For You(For Daniel Brick)
I thought
I should present you a flower
On your birthday
A beautiful and sweet scented flower
Perhaps
You will forget yourself for a while
Seeing its beauty and inhaling its fragrance
But then you will be saddened
When you will see its wilted petals
With no colour and no fragrance.
Then it struck me
Why not I present you a green sapling
That will be full of promise
To grow big and big
With promise of sweet scented flowers
And many many fruits
Inviting the nature guests
To build their nests
In the hollow of its heart
To enjoy its cool shade
To inhale the scent of its colourful flowers
And to feed on its sweet fruits
Throwing seeds throughout your garden
With many more promises
That will never cease.
Fantastic poem, Bharati! What better gift than a tree? I just planted a new tree in my yard a couple of weeks ago. I probably won't live long enough to see it get big and strong.
@Kim Barney, may you live long enough to see the plant get get big and strong!
