To Amita
Enough of nonsense at Headquarters
With monkey business all around -
She’s heading off to deeper waters
To be much closer to the ground.
To be involved in real stories
And not just gossiping in vain -
For this, she’s cast away her worries -
Not much to lose and all to gain.
She follows life – her only teacher,
Until the moment when it ends.
There is no doubt - she will be richer
With new experience and friends.
She will be tougher, calmer, wiser
And cooler, even in the heat.
So let her only supervisor -
Her heart - maintain a steady beat.
So that she comes, and sees, and conquers
And keeps the power like she must.
So that her enemies go bonkers
And fade away in desert dust.
Just like the sun, she also rises
In any place and any post.
To her – the queen of new horizons -
Is our small but heartfelt toast!
