(For our most talented Maestro, Mr. Aubert Fernandes)
C does not contain in your name, but you are very caring and consistent
no D, but definitely full of devotion, doing things dutifully and so diligent.
no F, but you're a faithful friend figuring out frets, you don't fake or feign,
and G lies in greatness of your silence and a name you don’t want to gain.
H is the honour you give us to associate in your work with much humility
and I stands for your individuality and inspiration to compose differently
J is Josephine, the love of your life, jokes and the work you do for Jesus
K is nothing but a kaleidoscope of your heart and soul reflecting kindness.
The L is the life you give to the songs we sing and the life in us you bring
M is for you, our Maestro and music that makes life complete and exciting,
the N absent in your name teaches us to be noble for all genuine causes,
and O is the oneness you bring in the group and the oneness in our voices.
The P is what we share, the pride of being a part of the Saint Mary’s Choir
and the Q taken by queer eyes turning around to tell us how they admire
S for your selfless service to society, unlike your favourite staccato notes
and V is for your vision to write the best voice parts and get highest votes.
The W taken to give you wisdom and wit but most of all to wish you well
no X exists as you were not named Xavier, Alexandro or Rex as we can tell,
Y is for your yells when we don’t pitch right but then of course you're right,
Z for the zest you live your life with, may all of your dreams take flight.
Happy Birthday Aubert. God Bless You.

Author notes
Mr. Aubert Fernandes celebrates his birthday on the 10th of September. He is one of the best of composers and arrangers and has worked with several, now very famous bollywood artists and actors. He is currently based in Dubai, occupied with his own business, but is devoted entirely (and this is amazing) to the Saint Mary's Choir Dubai. He, along with his wife Josephine, do a lot of charity work and counselling. His work doesn't deter him from reaching out to others at any point of time. I have personally experienced this in my life. They both have always "been there" for me and others. Aubert is my guru, guide and mentor, and I am learning, no, not music, but life from him.
This is a tribute to him.
Please tell me what you think

This is not an acrostic... but I can tell you mean this. From your poem and author's notes he seems like a noble and talented man. All the best in your writing and life.

A FINE TRIBUTE & BIRTHDAY PRESENT, AS WELL.
no X exists as you were not named Xavier, Alexandro or Rex as we can tell,
LOL!! I LOVE THIS LINE and enjoyed all of the others as well. Your GURU sounds like a wonderful and simple man and teacher who is happy to share his gifts with all those around him - which is what live is all about to me - and the way that GOD (whatever we may call him - Krishna, Buddha, etc.) intended for all of us to do - on this earth which can be made a paradise if only we would recognize the gifts that he has bestowed upon us and how to share them with our fellow man. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him and GUDDOS to you for writing such a fine tribute to him for his Birthday. As I'm writing this one of the many little sparrows who dines in my yard on a daily basis has hoped onto me lap which is another sign that all of us - near and far - whomsoever we may be and are are all connected in this world - and that miracles still exist - as this must be a gift to me from the one on HIGH on my 57th birthday which is today.
Peace & Love!
Earl.
PS - All the cutest and most poetic and musical people were born in September, Brother! LOL!!!
