Another Season Passing By
Today I gladly met you
In a Summer's sunny day
And I confessed to you
That it was my Birthday!
You stunningly reacted
With a surprising expression:
'Happy Birthday my friend'
'I can see that you are getting old'
I responded back without hesitation!
'Me, getting old? '
'You must be kidding
Or you are out of your mind'
'Old is the World
That was already here
Before I was born
And it will be here after
Forever I am gone'...
'Many Seasons I have witnessed
And tasted the sweetness and bitterness
Of my turbulent life
But I found the strength
To keep going until my last day'
He was speechless and motionless!
Then I asked him:
'How can I be getting old
When I feel being reborn
Every single day? '
He answered me with his eyes
And laughed and cheered
Having fun together
Until the new sunrise arrived...
