Just when I thought
I could quietly sit and photograph the
event
the student announced my birthday on stage.
The entire audience of 200
rose up as one
and sang the happy birthday song
O my!
There was no quiet anymore.
Who would have thought
I would be cutting three cakes in a day
at my age
and receiving a bouquet to top it off?
Who would have thought
That this quiet woman in the corner
had won their hearts as well?
