How can I call you, Athira or Henrita?
I do not know which do you prefer!
But my preference goes to ATHIRA!
Is it OK? It should be, I suppose.

What is so special about 15th November?
George and Beena are making such a fuss!
Yes, it is their first-born’s birthday!!
And do you know that YOU are the ONE?

That smart and sweet little child
Is growing into a charming girl.
A girl who looses her charms at times
In sibling rivalry with her little sister!

That is OK
Because that makes life funny at home
That makes you both grow richly
That gives joy to your parents.

Now, we are here to share this joy
With YOU and your sister and parents.
We wish you a Very Happy BIRTH DAY
And God’s BLESSINGS in abundance.
