Birth Day Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Birth day! Birth day!
Every one celebrates that day!
Thrown out are the mega parties
Blown off are the candles and money
Justified are celebrations till adolescence
Beyond that needed a firm check
Better to make a peep into the past
And a glance at the future
How many introspection s are made?
How many traits are thrown out?
How many vices are blown off?
How much good done for others?
How many are troubled by our deeds?
How fast we are nearing the end?
How many thought of the purpose of this life?
Birth day! Birth day! Wishing all a happy day!
