40Th Poems | Examples


Happy 40th birthday

Keeto the apple of my eye,
Centre of attraction, smart yet shy,
The little diamond - handsome and naughty,
A new milestone- my baby prince turns 40!

Creeping into mom and my heart,
Always loved and admired though far apart,
Champion in golf, colorful in art,
Keeto! My little star is class apart!!

Full of empathy and very humble,
Smart and stunning, yet so simple,
With soft blue eyes that always sparkle,
With a cute smile he flashes those dimples!

Exemplary and radiant like the sun,
Keeto my precious gem is second to none,
Versatile and talented rolled into one,
Admired, cherished, adored & envied by everyone. 

Born from my heart, to my mum he is a son,
Shining bright like the midnight sun ,
He is a superstar, pumpkin photo award he won,
He is extra ordinary , my scottish little one..

Reaching a new milestone, on a new journey he embarks,
Leaving his footprints on different landmarks,
With exuberance he defines benchmarks,
Well aware ,CEO position for him is earmarked 

On his Ruby Jubilee today,
Mom and Rima from far away,
From our hearts where he stays,
We shout loud Keeto Happy Birthday!!!

The 40th Anniversary Of The New Coke

Coca-Cola launched their 'New Coke' forty years ago.
When Coca-Cola did this, it turned out to be a fiasco.
They launched their 'New Coke' in April of 1985.
It was not a success and it certainly didn't thrive.
Coca-Cola abandoned the old formula and released the new.
Millions of people were angry and some even threatened to sue.
When it came to the 'New Coke', it was something that most people hated.
Coca-Cola started making the original again because people were devastated.

Premium MemberFor a Friends 40th Wedding Anniversary

body withers but our love grows
life’s a roller coaster for sure
through rain and shine, we are aglow
happenings any, hearts are pure

Gods benedictions, we imbibe 
body withers but our love grows
tranquil calm, we cannot describe 
gleam in our eyes, an open show

love alone real, this we know
each pulse of life, we celebrate 
body withers but our love grows
to music of soul, we gyrate

judgments suspended, we embrace
love caress has made us mellow
cut to chase, all is divine grace 
body withers but our love grows

Lockdown- 40th Day

I Pray Thee
The prayer to save all lives
Not from the specific holy place
You do not live in men made holy places, I believe

They pray for their nation, for their caste, for their Madhhab everyday
Their happiness lying in the death news of different believers and nonbelievers

I pray Thee
You exist everywhere
You gave universe everything for human,
Without discovering Your given offerings timely if
human lazily pray, You don't answer the prayer
Yes; that's I believe

I pray Thee now
As the earthly physicians assistant
To You I have no asking, but
Please incarnate Yourself into worldly scientist

To My Beloved Daughter Melissa On Your 40th Birthday

Your voice called out early
  when I needed it most

And you turned me around
  providing great hope

I was lost till you found me
  from the heavens beyond

And the love that you sent
  in my heart would grow strong

I knew it was you
  calling out to me clear

In the depths of my wandering
  your voice was so dear

You opened your heart
  and my spirit was yours

A life we now share
  with each day evermore 

As the years have progressed
  our memories have grown

Through marriage and distance
  and grandchildren sewn

You rescued my spirit
  when I needed you most

From my depths of refusal
  you vanquished the ghost

I’ll never be able
  to thank you enough

For the light that you brought me
  your angelic touch

And I still need you now
  more than ever before

To love me and guide me
  to save me once more

From the future you called
  in those darkest of times

My heart yours to reign
 —cherished daughter of mine

40th Happy Birthday

Having seen you climbing up that hill
And i know what is on the other side
Plenty of fun on this very special day
Partytime are not for by gone times
Yours once in a lifetime is here now

Bringing you best wishes on this day
It has been a pleasure to know you
Remember memories are to be kept
Today all your friends and families
Hope that you have a wonderful day
Daring to be young and crazy for now
Always remember life begins at forty
Yes many woke up not feeling older

10x10 To the 40th

At the heart of everything lies the mathematics of synchronicity 
Chance events send ripples throughout the universe
 Causing a chain reaction of effects 
Like dominoes toppling over toward infinity
 They manifest themselves into infinite realities 
Out of the infinite ways that the 10x1040different particles can rearrange 
themselves 
We are but one arrangement 
 Random notes written on the musical scale of existence 

Randomness is a cosmic DJ that spins the turntable of life 
Everything that exists is born out of chaos 
And that is beautiful 
Random patterns generate through space and create 
A blade of grass 
A tree 
A sunset 
A drop of water 
The number 10x1040

40th Year

he
pushed away that nagging truth that he was
being played
and played well
helpless 
and yet
women
came and went through his lifetime 
redeptive chances
beckoning glances
happiness
warm willing bodies and laughter
yes
laughter
they loved the way he looked
his warm voice and kind hands
they slipped
away
anchored as he was to what he believed
out of fear
sometime in his 40th year he began the game of watching
how far she would go
just to pass the time until she went too 
then he turned and left
