Birthdays | A poem by Gul Sanowber

About the poem: In this poem Gul has presented a different view on the celebration of birthdays and is posing a question.

Why do you blow candles?
Why is your birthday so important to others?
Each birthday that passes,
You come closer to your death ,
And,
This is what you are actually celebrating…
By having a grand  party,
The coming of death closer to you.
Why do people celebrate on losing one complete year of their life? 
Maybe you celebrate the moments you had last year. 
And bid a farewell to it.
But..
Then why only one day is dedicated to this celebration. 
Why don’t we  celebrate life the whole year.
Why do they not welcome each day like a new day? 
When it actually is.
