Joyful Occasion Comes Not Always! Poem by Ramesh T A

It is beautiful to see a joint family of squirrels playing around me house in the morning;
It brings smile and happy mood when I see them playing in twos and threes;
For, some have entered into my house and find it a labyrinth to go out somehow;
If they do so suddenly, it makes me think about several things today yes!

Today is the birthday of my son, Poet friend and college friend with same day
But years of each one are varying between 1952 and 1983 with surprise indeed;
I convey my best wishes and wish them all the best in their ventures sure;
Due to these reasons, this day becomes a special day to celebrate!

Joy comes of many ways and joy enjoying in this way is unique indeed in life;
I have this rare chance to celebrate the rare coincidence of my friends' birthdays;
Only my son is with me, but others are living in far away places in the world;
Though we don't meet ever, our hearts are united in memories unforgettable ever!

Friends only of all relations live in fun like the squirrels roam about and play ever;
Such a joyful occasion comes not always but in memory and dreams only!
