An Ode to Myself

Mohsina Dadu 1979 (Modasa)

Ode


Don't know how it fleet by,
And don't know how nourished with dexterity.
Many things and souls to come and go by
All Fortified for better version,
And today that I turned forty.

 In course piled through tangled net,
 This trivial but Thy fond pet.
 Your Sky, Earth and All Your Habitants,
Cared and armored by You and Your angels,
And it's how today I turned forty.

 Yet slowly its dripping with flickers,
Squeezing every ounce with similar nector
Just Thee want to be side by,
To lead the straight flight.
And thus today I turned forty.
