It was her birthday, and I wished her bliss.
all this while I took her amiss.
And then at lunch she revealed her plight,
alas! I held my lips tight.
Such was the story she had to share,
‘twas hard to believe that she could bear.
I knew not she was in so much pain,
for everything she did went in vain.
She trusted the one who turned out a cheat,
and caused her life’s purpose defeat.
The birthday wishes did her good,
perhaps they changed her mood.
She was thankful for the treat,
it sure helped her heart-ache retreat.
Another example that ‘deeds make a difference’
particularly when ‘time is the essence’!
