A Very True Friend, You Are

Poem dedicated to Rene, a close friend who used to be my colleague in my first ever job:

A very true friend, you are

An extremely supportive colleague, you were

Speaking your mind always

Not hesitating to be harsh sometimes

In life, I’ve come this far

In no small part due to you, dear!

A very true friend, you are

One hell of a character

Kind and strict at the same time

Logical and emotional at the same time

You and Vivek, such a sweet couple

Each child of yours, an angel!!

A very true friend, you are

Coming to your home, a mighty pleasure

Never felt less than family

I am so, so lucky

To be part of this beautiful friendship

Hopefully, a lifelong relationship!!

A very true friend, you are

And of course, a true believer

Your faith in Jesus, remarkable

May he bless you all

With everything that you greatly desire

Hope to see you soon, sister!!
