A REASON TO SMILE

(one of the rare moments when WE smile at something .....TOGETHER)


Age is just a double digit...

so don judge me by digits and numbers

stop telling me to grow up

when all i want is to grow younger,

younger at heart and in the head

in body, i know i cant help!!!!

I know,it exists

exists in my smile

coz i feel a lot older

on days I can't....


people who(really) know me, say

I'm growing wackier ..wonkier...FUNNIER

by the moment..by the year

and i feel even younger when I hear that !!!


I pretend to ignore the fine lines


that I see in the mirror

I can only see my smile there

coz thats the only thing I know

that looks best on me.


age is just a number...

I have stopped counting

I'm bad at maths anyway

I hope you are too.

(no it's not my birthday ,but amateur attempts at poetry should be......appreciated,commented and tolerated)

current reason to smile.....

"Delhi here I come..."

Hi Gazal,
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake. So I guess on that note you are YOUNG!
Have a great vacation.
Cheers,
Salil

Mampi said...

Now thats like a good girl. I dunno how i missed this post. You should yell like me, "check my post."
The poem is really good. Try more. And the idea behind the poem is appreciated. And the photographs that show you smiling ARE in fact wonderful. At least I never thought of age.
Love you.
And Since you have volunteered to do the tag sharafat sey, I am linking you immediately lest you should change your mind.
YOU STAND TAGGED.
