A Perfect Gentleman Friend At Forty

Never did I meet a man so warm Full of live and a sunny smile Sweet like the Scottish cream The perfect gentleman Never did I meet a man so warm With simple gestures and classy acts Humble yet suave and full of charm The perfect gentleman Never did I meet a man so warm Who at forty has a heart younger than twenty Elegant, soft yet firm A perfect gentleman Never did I meet a man so warm Who has a kind word for every soul And a heart so large, so warm I could go on… …But as you turn forty my friend Remember life is just beginning Laugh to your heart delights Drink the freshest of wines Spend time with your kids and wife Be merry, passionate and never stop loving… A prayer for you… May you last long like the Iroko Tree Bringing warmth, love and happiness to- Your Family and friends Happy Fortieth Birthday Babafemi My perfect gentleman friend and brother! (This poem is dedicated to my colleague, friend and brother- Babafemi Aina on the Occassion of his 40th Birthday. I wish you many more years of success friend)
