...the more insignificant i'll be...

assalamualaikum and peace be upon you....

the present that was once...

'tis the time again,
where candles blown,
parties thrown,
well-wish shown,
a child grown.

'tis the time again,
where thirty summer ago,
smiles spark by a lil gurgle,
worries raised by a lil burp,

'tis the time again,
where thirty winters have past,
worries still last,
smiles worn fast.
