Birthday Poem To My Son

by Rita Putatunda
(India)

At age 20, childhood is left behind
And life’s expedition has really begun

Relish this moment
Taste youth’s exhilarating flavors
Smell the thrilling aroma of young sap
Coursing through each day
Paint every dream
With a vibrant brush
Dipped in sunshine yellow, moonlight silver
Sky blue, leafy green

May every aspiration come true
And may you enjoy every landscape
That you pass through
On this journey of life
