Only Thank Annette Poem by Margaret Alice Second

She is sweet - most importantly, honest to the
core, never false, always herself, it is a joy to
have her around, she adds value to everything
she does - even read a verse for my daughter
and helped to make it flow - I can ask her any-
thing and trust her with everything; she is such
a controlled human being, knows exactly what
she wants, a privilege to finally have her as a
colleague, when she edits she is unassuming
yet makes it better and I love it, never superior

Always explains and the improvement is there
to see; I can only thank Annette, she's a gem
when I needed help with practical packing she
solved the conundrum and when translation in-
to Afrikaans was a problem, she touched it so
lightly with magic and added scanned pages
so the client could read the whole document
in one go - what joy to live in such a world -
where one person brings down the moon, sun
and stars just by their presence!
