I've just added a year



It's my threshold

I've crossed my teens
I'm turning mature
I ought to preen

Suddenly,
they've thrown much on my shoulder
yet they hush me up
when my tongue goes bolder

Conflicts inside me
i find much to resolve
am happy they are
after all at this age they revolve

I've grown strong
Am big and i realize it
its my time to stand
its my day i simply rejoice it


- I, India!

[on Her 65th birthday]
