A Birthday Unplanned

A Birthday Unplanned

I count the days to the wishes,

Make plans for special dishes,

But life decides to play sour,

Gives me an event to ponder.

 

Months ago I plan a trip,

To sit near the tranquil water tip,

Waiting to soak in the quite nature,

All of a sudden I am running helter-skelter.

 

School office leave taken,

To slow down the pace and tension,

Only to rush to the nearest healthcare,

A night spent in utter despair.

 

Shell necklace and corals,

Gave way to injections and bottles,

Awaiting for a serene lunch by the Oceanside,

Only to be visited by doctors of every kind.

 

As day crawled on slowly,

Mind blocked the travel plans painfully,

Evening brought in good news,

All is well was the doctors views.

 

Home at last – all safe and sound,

Now I think – what a roller coaster round,

But surprises was still in the air,

Friends brought in cheers to the lair.

Celebrations at last,

Thanking God for a short blast,

Birthday and anniversary was fused together,

Now I solder a  health wish forever…
