My Birthday


Image result for birthday pictures




I say Sorry to Father My
Dear Friend 
but He no listen so now
I do Mind He has to forgive
Me as Today is My Birthday




It is May the 2nd My Birthday
I am one Year Older I am not
sure about Wiser ?

I still remember My Birthday
while I was in Ottawa 
I was sitting on an Empty Nest

All of My Daughters were married
and gone so only Me and My Son 

My Son busy with His New Job
at Nortel and also completing His Masters
so very long Hours

I just write down here a piece from
that Birthday of Mine which I posted
in the edition titled " Fireside Dreams " 
Short Stories published by
Canadian Poetry Institute

 " May 2nd 1995 it is 8.30 in the Morning
Mornings in Canada vary a lot from Place 
to Place and from Season to Season 

You can see broad Day light even at 
5 o' clock in the Morning 

It is My Birthday Today but there will 
not be any Party My Daughters are married
and away in England My Son in the 
Office for whole Day

I have to go to Rossland an unknown
place for Orientation to upgrade My skills 
in computers 

Like Every Immigrant I am passing 
through a series of Settlement stages 
Settlement of Body and Soul 

I am back now
it is 8 o' clock in the evening I am in
The National Gallery of Ottawa 

This is a Treat for My Birthday from Myself
to be in the Heart of Downtown is always 
a Nice experience for Me 

Life buzzing all around You get of a Feel of 
Showering colors sprinkling and splashing
it all elevates Your Mood

I am Home it is 10 o clock My Son back 
from Work I got a beautiful Birthday Card
Cake and Flowers from My Son
also Phone Calls from My Daughters

I am feeling Rich and full of Life
I am having My Birthday Cake 
with My Son and enjoying 
Steaming hot cup of Tea

I am a Widow but still have My Family
I am feeling Young and full of Joy
to enjoy My Life "

Thank You God for Everything

  10. Smile, I always get blog notification on my smart phone of whenever your blog posts. Being young mother in new country, I don't always have time to comment as my kids are very young. Today, I thought it is your birthday and so I must comment and wish you. Happy birthday! I hope you never stop writing, your words are a gift to us all.

    Love Hina

  11. Dear Smile, my mother Xin called me on my mobile at work in emergency. I asked her what is the emergency? She said, it is Smile's birthday. I quickly logged onto my computer to wish you, today is a great day, a great person was born and the world should know. Happy birthday, I hope you have the best time with your son, daughter-in-law and grandsons.

    From Jane

  12. Hey Smile,

    I'm so happy that today is your birthday! Happy Birthday! I hope nothing ruins your day, and I hope that horrible person @mrizvi stays off your blog and gives you peace at least on your birthday. If he shows up on here, I'll be mad, let him try post that silly unoriginal comment, I'll blow up.
