I'd like to send by "bestest" wishes

To someone who is really nice

I think the world of this young man

To me, he's great-great twice.

Seems no time, since you were just a lad

A day or two you'd spend with me

A young man now; you've become

You're loving and caring as can be.

May all good things, come your way

And may the knocks of life be few

For one, I think, is so deserving

Happy Birthday, from we two.
