Birthday Poem by Gajanan Mishra

1.

On this day
Let me stay
True to my words.
Let me not give up
My truthfulness.
Let me love and
Serve my mother.
Let me use
My mother language.
Let me work
For the development
Of my motherland.
On this day
Let me fly to the sky.

2.

What do you mean?
What is birth?
Is it the beginning
Of everything?
On this day
Give me strength to
Tolerate all adversity.
I have done nothing so far,
The star is still dark
And it is there.
I am here before you
Take care, and let all
Conquer the self
For all welfare.
