Birthday

Like everything, this too shall pass;
I know, but still,
as long as it lasts, I like the feeling.
Enveloped in the warmth
of being feted,
being wished for a long life,
by the loved ones or those who love me
 I like the phone calls
that come from distant places,
the messages that pour in
to add more years to my life.
The calendar has just added
one more day to mark my existence.
And I like it in a special way
with hope and expectation.
Something must be round the corner
I can smell it in the air,
as I spend this day of spring
with a medley of memories

taking me back and forth in time.
