My heart leapt with joy on hearing of your well
deserved award.
I felt some justice from Government at last had
been performed.
Recognizing your staunch efforts on behalf of the
Nation
Forgetting your helpful, continuous criticisms.
You are fearless in your accusations of others’
inertia.
And your attention to detail is of the highest
order.
Your concern for people and the world you
demonstrate by tireless actions.
You stand by your high standards, and your
ethical principles.
The compassion you demonstrate for the
unfortunate, unlimited.
And the advice and encouragement you give to
others unstinted.
I am privileged to know you and be called your
friend,
You are a giant and stand taller in spirit, among
men.

2009)
