My 74th Birthday Poem by Akhtar Jawad

My 74th Birthday

Rating: 5.0


During infancy it was a written fate,
During childhood it was my naughtiness,
During the youth it was her love,
I lived in joys with her she brought.

At the middle age these were my children.
Being old I live now watching my players,
Live watching plays of my grandchildren,
I pray for them, and I get their prayers.

Carefree grandchildren I love to see,
Childhood was a life for me only me!

A wonderful and insightful poem on life. And a beautiful tribute to one's family. Only a man satisfied with his life can pen a beautiful poem about himself imbued with the joys that only a family could bring. May you continue to enjoy this joy, Sir Akhtar, with the blessings of God.
