A million miles and countless tears
Gone now for more of them than you were here
All your smells and your tailored clothes
Your axe, your sword, your books, your bow
Long gone, still leave a you-shaped hole
Your love of mad friends, good food and wine,
Your high ideals, your dreams divine
Even on dark days, these still shine.
A planet-sized heart, a mind so swift,
"Love and respect" your greatest gifts
The world is richer because you lived.
"A thousand hugs , a million kisses"
A wealth of memories, deep and delicious
Eternal 40th birthday wishes.
