On the day of your birth a woman looked around her house one final time before closing the door; For it will never appear the same to her again; When she returns her house will be a home. At that moment you are as close to her heart as you will ever be; As you leave her body, her heart fills with more love than she will ever know. On your birthday you changed someone’s life; Harold became dad; Dorothy became mum. Education began; You taught mum infinite joy, love beyond expression and immeasurable grace; She instructed you with her passing; Yours was the aged lesson of letting go; A lesson pre-mature for a heart so young and unmarked by life. You are the sum of life experience; Added to personal choice; Resulting is the man you have become; Remember the child you began as; Be driven by the boy you’ve learned with; Celebrate the man you are today; Yours is a life to be celebrated today and every day forthcoming. Your gift is the ability to transform lives; With words, a look, a cause; You rouse laughter in a time when laughing matters most of all; You encourage belief where there once was none. Love yourself and celebrate your life as do those who are inspired by you. Happy Birthday, Eddie! Peace. With much gratitude and admiration, Doran Parker-Napp
