Dear Suresh,

I have known you for more than half your life
You have been more than a friend
We clicked the day we first met in Toronto
Your drive and hunger for fun, I commend.

You are lucky, you have Manju,
your soulmate, who keeps you on track
She has stuck out with you all this time
Despite the fact you give her so much flack.

I wish you the best of health in the coming years
May you continue to enjoy your life’s journey
You are blessed with loving grandchildren, watch them
grow and flourish is worth more than all the money.

If you lead a mentally and physically active life,
you will be endowed with good health
In our golden years with aging bodies,
good health is the only true wealth!

Best wishes for now and forever.

Your friend.
Ashok
