A Birthday Gift For You(For Daniel Brick)

I thought I should present you a flower On your birthday A beautiful and sweet scented flower Perhaps You will forget yourself for a while Seeing its beauty and inhaling its fragrance But then you will be saddened When you will see its wilted petals With no colour and no fragrance. Then it struck me Why not I present you a green sapling That will be full of promise To grow big and big With promise of sweet scented flowers And many many fruits Inviting the nature guests To build their nests In the hollow of its heart To enjoy its cool shade To inhale the scent of its colourful flowers And to feed on its sweet fruits Throwing seeds throughout your garden With many more promises That will never cease.
