Birthday Celebration Poem by Tushar Ray

Hi there Bengali New Year
Welcome home!
I long for your homecoming
Year after year
On this day in a cyclic manner
And this year
Far away from my birthday place
On this arid land of Saguaro Cactus
In great South Western United States
I welcome you, my dear
Welcome home!

You bring a special joy for me
Each year on this day
When seventy five years ago today
On your long cosmic journey
I joined you as a newborn baby
To be with my beloved mother
Then on we are connected to each other
And once each year you greet me
When we celebrate this day
As you bring me fresh morning blossoms
And wish me happy birthday!
