THE NEXT LIFE BIRTHDAY!

Birthdays are a reminder of how long  

we have lived in this Earth,

which says how much girth have we

measured around our life health.

And that which comes on one's retirement

is a strong yet difficult reminder,

of how much time is left for a man 

to live in this Earth as a visitor.

For a man who regards his life to be a gift;

It is a second chance to revive and lift.

But to one who scorn his existence,

This retirement birthday is just a chance

to run forward towards in-existence.

Choice between the gift and the scorn;

Is your decree between,

never ceasing pain or gain for you of your life.
