Happy 75!

This one I had Ghost written for Nabeel... to wish his nanaji on his 75th birthday.
here goes ....
Mom and Dad wanted us to write to you,how you have made a difference to our lives,
your love and support. Your contribution to society and all the good that you have done.
But those are what they want to say... I have a small poem for you


I say not big things to you,
they are just few,
its not to remember in life how or what to others you have done,
its the day to remember how much it has been fun,

do you remember:
for a gift wait,
that you would get on june eight,


the wait for a holiday,
to go out and play,


the wait for the school opening bell,
to meet your friends and stories tell,


felt you what,
when cycle you got,


how happy you were when you finished school,
and thought college was going to be cool,


your first salary in hand,
did you feel grand?


what about when you met nani,
were you sharm se pani pani?


when they first put mommy in your lap,
did you in joy clap?


when you first mamu saw,
did you know he was going to study law,


1996 31st december,
do you remember?


when you saw adam,sakeenah and aliyah,
what went through your mind... yah?


and this surprise party today,
when everybody sang Happy Birthday!


... now nanaji from all of us here in bangalore: Happy birthday to you!
