There are pearls
There are diamonds
There are sapphires
There are rubies
And then there is you
With a heart so pure
It cannot bear
To even wish harm to a fly
This is not flattery
It’s the truth
The bold and beautiful truth
Many see a cool, fun-loving woman
I see an exceptionally compassionate human
Who believes in second chances
And looks past the darkness
Which permeate certain souls
Because, in you, the light shines
You have so much potential
And of course, the will
To do anything that needs to be done
You’re gonna be a great person
Around you, are wonderful people
Your brother, Nikhil
Your parents
Akash, your spouse
For you, almost nothing is impossible
I said you’re gonna be a great person
But more importantly, you’re already an extremely GOOD person
God bless you, you incredible human!
