A Birthday Poem Poem by Palitha Ranatunge

A Birthday Poem



The day I was welcomed
by my species
As one of them.
Today can I be proud of
As a member of this mighty clan
I wonder who I was before
and whom I am going to be
at my departure.

I feel overwhelming joy

When I look at the sky
And the bird.

When I look at the water
And the fish.


When they look at you
do they treat you the same,
filling their throbbing hearts
with the same joy?
