Thank You Val On Your 40th Birthday
(A "Hallmark" Thought Just For You)

For all the little quirky things we love to watch you do.
For the "true to thine ownself" you must do for only you.
For your efforts from the heart to benefit the human race.
For the giving of yourself to make the world a better place.
For choosing with integrity not "just for money" compromises.
For driving stuffed shirts crazy with your scandalous surprises.
For loving such a "humble" home far removed from Hollywood.
For responding with such graciousness when so misunderstood.
For the smile so freely given 'cause you know it makes us sigh.
For a sexy so magnificent it almost makes us cry.
For being so much more than just another pretty face.
For your complexity of mind which surely sets the pace.
For the day God blessed our lives with a specialness so true.
For being absolutely nothing, but dear, imperfect you.
