A Birthday Wish Poem by Namita Rani Panda

How can I wish you to be happy my baby
When your lungs suffocate with the fumes of abomination
around,
Your heart is chocking with the poison of doubt in your blood?
How can I wish you a long life,
When I know you are dying every second
With the dark thoughts hounding and pouncing upon your soul?
So I will wait for the day
to wish you a happy birthday
On another planet
Where love will magnet the hearts,
With air of trust to breathe in
That will purify your blood,
And a fountain of peace
Where your soul can wash away the dark wounds,
Where forgiveness like dews will drop from heaven:
The soothing balm dazzling on the trees' palms,
Where you can recline peacefully on the greenest grass carpet of care
And wander in the dream land listening to the humming of
hope,
I will wait for that day,
To wish you a very happy birthday!
