If there was one thing I wished for
For all my life, I would adore
Than that one thing would be my son
Once boy, now man, but ever young
A gentle giant, sweet as kitten
And for this man-child I am smitten
For few have nature kind as his
That sees the good in all there is
Unspoiled, without cynicism
Muted with all criticism
Loves to jest, but when concerned
His back to you is never turned
If you could hear him laugh with glee
Your heart would melt, so glad you’d be
And on this day, it’s year of twenty
Shower him with love a-plenty
Oh Sam our hearts with you are full
And life with you is never dull
We honour you in all the ways
Overflowing joy for days
I grant the world wrapped with a bow
To the most good-natured guy I know!
