You are about to begin
A rapturous journey
In which you will witness
Nothing but prosperity
You are about to hop onboard
A flight of hope and fulfilment
Get ready to welcome in your life
Lots of fun and enjoyment
You are about to sail on a ship
That’ll take you to victory
We wish a great birthday
Have fun turning forty


Just because you’re 40,
Don’t despair, oh no
Overnight you won’t discover
You’ve lost your get up and go.
Nor will you become all wrinkled,
Nor ache from head to toe.
So even though you’re ripening
Don’t regard it as a blow,
You won’t suddenly look decrepit ….
…Cos that happened long ago!

40th Birthday Poem for a Friend

Is your friend turning 40 and you are looking for a perfect way to express your feelings about this occasion? How about a lovely 40th birthday poem from a friend? I think everybody will like to hear nice words on their birthday.

40 is your perfect age to
Do anything you want to do
Creativity and common sense
Have been refined in you
You’re mature in your wisdom
Your spirit is aged and bold
Humor is your shield of fire
And your heart is solid gold


Forty summers since you were born,
Surprise gathering, did not forewarn.
To celebrate a trail taken,
Many hurdles, soul awaken.
Recollect moments in time,
Engraved in our hearts; precious and prime.
Many distinct, others bittersweet,
ever gave up, remained on your feet.
Plenty of smiles, may we send your way,
As we laugh with you, on this wonderful day.
On your 40th, moments to think back,
Years from now, emotions we won’t lack.

Losing weight will be hard
And your hair may be thin

A game well played
Although you have many
More decades to go
I wish the best for you
