Poem for Dell draft 7

Thank you Ms Chong,

For your personable and approachable nature.
No matter where we meet
your office, the corridor, the pantry
you always have a dazzling smile for every one of us.

For your patience.
You go the extra mile to nurture and
connect with us as a group and as individuals
and reassure and comfort us.

For your guidance.
You take time to explain things,
you share your ideas and knowledge generously
even before we know we need it.

For your gift of language.
You plant seeds of hope in us
and inspire positive change, showing us
that we can and should uplift the human spirit.

For your inspirational speeches.
Every time you speak to us,
your words go straight to our hearts
Who can ever forget Anne of Green Gables?

For an oasis of calm.
Our work here can be crazy
but you keep it real,
grounding us and protecting us.

For short and sweet branch meetings.
You bring us together and
win us over with your
sense of humour.

For the stylish look of ELLB.
You rock those Louboutins,
exuding elegance, class and beauty.
Yet you stay so humble and down to earth.

Has it only been a year?
We feel we’ve known you for so long –
for all this and more
we thank you, dear Ms Beatrice Chong.
