My dear friend and colleague, Umeshwari was retiring and I wanted to pen something special for her.
I wrote an acrostic poem and another poem dedicated to our friendship. Everyone knows Uma as an enthusiastic and talented person with a heart of gold. Here's wishing her an amazing journey ahead with new explorations and contentment and success at whatever she plans to do.
Uplifting spirit, spreading joy around,
Moves with grace, with dances profound.
Energetic soul, shining so bright
Smiles through challenges, a beacon of light.
Hopeful and strong, she never backs down,
Waves of enthusiasm, never let her frown.
A true and loyal friend, steady and kind,
Radiating warmth and a positive mind.
In every heart her presence remains,
Uma, in your friendship, one only gains!
Through years of toil, through joy and pain,
You've walked with grace, through sun and rain.
Diligent and steadfast with a heart so true,
A guiding light in all you do.
With wisdom deep and faith so strong,
You lifted and inspired everyone along,
Unassumingly simple, yet so bright,
you turned darkness into golden light.
A mother's love, a daughter's care,
A friend who's always. always there,
Supportive hands, with a heart so kind,
A soul so rare, so hard to find.
Through trials tough you stood so tall,
Your laughter echoed through it all,
Charming, witty, full of cheer,
A spirit so bold, a heart sincere.
Now as you step to days anew,
Remember how much we all cherish you,
Retirement is here but it is not the end,
Just a new road for you, my dear teacher-friend!
