Dual Flowers in Eternal Bloom

(Press Fellow 1993)

Thirty years and counting,
Your brilliance remains in my heart,
O Wolfson College and Cambridgeshire…
Two fragrant flowers in eternal bloom,
Verily a vital part of the life-blood,
That’s been gushing my being,
Carrying me from strength to strength,
All through these eventful decades,
And this admission I need to make,
That if not for your empowering presence,
I would not have grown in empathy,
And discovered the essence of peace-building.
