Days come and go unobtrusively 

Followed by weeks,months and years 

The slithering paces of life are humdrum 

With the modus operandi of daily toil and moil 

But every year festive days come 

Exclusively for you to be rhapsodic 

Instead of being extemporaneous on occasions

Let your countenance wreath in smile every day 

Making people jubilant around you 

And you by opening the casements of your mind 

Keeping everyone close like a child his teddy hugs 

May every moments of your life momentous 

Like luscious mementos for you and others 

To nourish and nurture for keep sake 

you are one I keep close to my bosom 

Like an amulet and a talisman 

For the kaleidoscopic life has 

Multifarious facets which may make 

Ones life murky and plunged in lugubriousness 

Making life melancholic and arid 

But the propinquity of people like you erase the pall like a glow worm 

Replenish the lost happiness again and again.
