My Birthday
Merry living fully with grace and dignity
Years of age might be quite hidden in me
Bid to recognise the weight of Life and people on me
Impatient to unfold all that is not known to me
Refusing the law of Nature deprives the soul of harmony
Time can chain the body while the soul can be free
How dare I defy what is divine and so sacred to me
Dear is the one in the mirror only with my heart I can see
“Age I Abhor”, that’s Shakespeare! Not me
Yearning over youth blinds the sight to all the wonders age can see.

How humble and kind of you to spill so much beauty and contentment in my soul.. so pleased to have you read and generously respond to my humble poetry.. thank you so much dear Honoria! Stay blessed.
As we grow wise and well learned, we realize that age is only a number, old age can be even in the younger, but age is still young while the mind is smiling, reading, gleaning lore and knowledge, and transmitting them faithfully, humbly to comin' generations..
With every age we grow, the flowers grow even more fragrant..
Stay safe and happy birth day to our humble, great poetess. hamid

We step forward and upward on solid grounds paved by wise beautiful souls we are lucky to cross and have in our lives.. Never do we stop learning and savouring what we know as long as we are assured that the thoughts are profound and enriching and the feelings are humble and true.. thank you so much for your genuine wishes and elating words.. Stay always blessed with the gift and magic of the word.

Hoi hoi
Congratulations, yes I know, very very late. Sorry.
I hope they made it a day to remember for you.
I have ‘some’ catching up to do with all the beauty you wrote.
Kind regards, Gus
