Few people make a lasting first impression;

Not just any kind – but a positive one;

So, those that do, deserve to be celebrated;

Yes – whenever the opportunity presents itself

Our celebrant is as vivacious as they come;

With a personality bubbly and shiny as the Sun;

Indeed; her joie de vivre is second to none;

She truly radiates light and warmth

All these about her strike you from afar;

But up close? It is even better!

True – even without a formal introduction;

It is enough that your paths should cross

With a thousand-watt smile;

And a presence that defies her height;

Oluchi simply punches above her weight;

As she goes about stating her case

Yes, both professionally and otherwise;

For, as a qualified solicitor and advocate –

She is, possibly, one of the best of her kind!

No exaggeration – just ask her work and classmates

Her breadth of knowledge is simply breath-taking;

As, her interests are not restricted to the law – true;

She is at home in virtually every field;

Her sponge-like mind is that good

In other words, she is a consummate counsel;

Who, even though trained to master the law –

Is also versed in everything else;

With her, all is fair-game – par for the course!

Our Vivian (her English name) is always a sight to behold;

As she moves (more like glides!) with an effortless grace –

That belies her ample – but compact – frame;

No, her presence is anything but cold

Whoever is fortunate to make her acquaintance –

Always comes away refreshed and impressed;

Such is the force of her personality and charm;

You will truly be glad to call her a friend

Our Oluchi is a master of human relations;

She is tactful and diplomatic;

But she can also be blunt;

As she doesn’t suffer fools gladly!

Therefore, before you engage with her –

Always put your best foot forward;

Make sure you do your homework;

Otherwise, you might be damned!

There you have it, then;

As complete a human being –

As you will ever find anywhere;

That is Oluchi, Ms. Distinctive

On the auspicious occasion of her birth;

Let us toast to a person who is worth her weight in gold;

Who lights up a room and, of knowledge, is a treasure-trove

Cheers, girl, you are one of the best!
