Dear Senior Colleague
One does not get the opportunity to celebrate and speak to your awesome personality frequently
So on occasions like this
We simply want to put everything in words
Yet it can never suffice
For how does one begin the story of an exemplary person such as yourself
I learnt patience from sitting behind you
Your uniqueness comes in everything you do
The way you talk
The unruffled feathers
And your being just you
The calm that comes with having you around
Watching over us tenderly
Ever ready to share your very well placed experienced positions
And yet not wanting to push them down our throat for me has always been a lesson in humility and a higher level of understanding
You have quietly trellised our world and made it different because you care
Thank You for your soothing words at all times
We appreciate you for your dignified mien
We celebrate you for that special laughter that sings you all the time
And we love you today and always
Happy Birthday Ma
It is our prayers that you will continue to be like the tree planted by the river side that brings forth it fruit in season
Many happy returns Ma
