In lands where eucalyptus sways, Beneath the Southern Cross's gaze, My heart reaches out from distant shore, To the daughter I adore and more. Ranithi, dear, on this special day, A quarter-century's bright bouquet, Your laughter's lilt, like notes that dance, In songs you sing, a vibrant trance. With healing hands you grace the earth, In Aussie lands, you find your worth. Though miles apart, our bond holds tight, In dreams and dance, you take your flight. From Sri Lankan roots, you drew your start, In distant skies, still strong of heart. Your melodies weave through the air, A doctor with a spirit rare. So on this day, though seas divide, Know love's an ever-guiding tide. Happy birthday, my radiant star, No distance dimming who you are.
