Thank you so much my esteemed GENERAL,

You truly are a distinguished EXEMPLAR;

You have exhibited much HUMILITY…

You’re also possessed with such pleasant PERSONALITY!

 

 

An outstanding graduate of the MILITARY ACADEMY,

Planned out a map to save our country from TRAGEDY;

Authored indeed a DEFENSE REFORM PROGRAM…

Entrusted to implement it, ‘tis indeed is not a SHAM!

 

 

In fact, the General is into assisting the DND SEC,

With respect to CIVIL DEFENSE, and that’s CORRECT;

Being a precise and accurate MATHEMATICIAN…

Let’s add up more to unity & division must be SHUNNED!

 

 

The eldest among his nine SIBLINGS,

He has made reforms in our vets’ DEALINGS;

An expert too in BUSINESS ECONOMICS…

His military career is so truly FANTASTICS!

   

You are the only MILITARY OFFICIAL,

Who has led your INFANTRY BATTALION to AWARDS, so SPECIAL;

Has been named as the BEST, 3 years in a ROW…

Your leadership qualities is really an AMAZING SHOW!

  

Thank you so much our ABLE ADMINISTRATOR,
