Tribute to Anusha for her 60th birthday Celebrations

Reminiscing on our friendship & here’s me

wishing you the very best on your 60th Birthday!

Anusha,

When I seemed lost and alone

You stumbled on me

And it was perfect timing.

I needed a friend

Someone to believe in me

There you were, waiting, smilingly with open arms

To welcome me into your life

Offering friendship, sisterly love

And cheer to brighten my life

We chatted into the night

Shared all our dreams and fears

It seems only like yesterday

I was 17, you were 22!

Age didn't seem to matter

You were that big sister

I didn't have!

It seemed like we sailed the same oceans and docked at the same ports

For we understood each other’s thoughts and even the pain

There were times when we cried together

Were silly together -sharing about those little flickers

That coloured our lives

And watched as those

We yearned for,

Walked away

And then like a breath of fresh air

Came new loves and dreams

We discussed it till the cows came home

And locked those secrets away forever.

Such was life!

Anu, it was you who taught me

To find

Joy in trials and to smile

Sing to our hearts content

And not to worry

About the opinion of others

Anu, you taught me about self -worth

And to behave like the daughter of

The King of kings!

I hold you in my heart with love always

And wish you more joy

More peace

Quiet love and more friends

As these 60 years prove you have so much more to give

To enrich

To discover

In you and in others

So my friend,

In your own words

Enjoy this journey

And be the colour palette and

rainbow that other people need along the way

May you be that beacon

Lighting up the world with your smile!

                                                        GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY ANU!

Lub you loads and loads,

Angie

(I turned out ok,

Because of you)!
