This poem is dedicated to Minu, fan of
Deepika Padukone (pictured above), spontaneity personified and a wonderful, wonderful friend.
Happy birthday!!💖💖
She has big beautiful eyes,
That glow with enthusiasm.
An even bigger heart,
Filled with love and kindness.
An ever present smile,
Like a lone candle in the dark.
Her love for pout selfies
Is unmatched.
Her spontaneity amazes me,
And so does her practicality.
She loves to sing,
In her smoky bass voice,
And we can't help but sing along.
A disarming sense of humour,
Tucked inside the mind of a fashionista.
When we are all gripped with terror,
She stays as calm as a serene lake.
She's surprisingly perceptive,
Seeing deep into people's souls.
A selfless friend, she's always there,
When you are at your best and your worst.
She loves inspirational quotes,
But she's an inspiration herself.
And in this instance, I would tell her,
You are unique, one of a kind,
You are strong and resilient,
Your kindness is rare in this cruel, cruel world,
And, All I can wish her is...
Just stay as you are.
Just stay as you are.
Thank you for reading!!
