though in your time you did enjoy your sevens,
as you enjoyed the gifts that others offered,
as you received each offering with grace
Such a fine trait it was,
how much you valued everything -
each kindness, each expression,
the talents and the tastes of every friend -
I somehow wish
that everyone had noticed it,
that we had celebrated you
more than we did
But now that doesn't matter either -
I feel your generosity
grand enough to cover all of that,
grand enough, as always, to make us shine,
embrace us all and leave us feeling fine.
