May life never deceive
You about what to receive
May men never kill
What is yours in God's will
May love be given to you
As God would want it to
May your enemies have to fear
Your God who remains ever near
May men respect who you are
Before they compare you to who you were
May beautiful things come
When you're strong enough not to run
May fear be far from you
In everything God wants you to do
May women admire
As wisdom preserves you from fire
May you remain meek and wise
As fools bet their lives on lies
May you grow closer to Christ
As you become a man in our eyes
May honour stand firm with you
As you do what you have to
May cowards and parasites flee
Before they do anything dastardly
May your parents have joy in your life
As well as your uncles, aunts, friends & wife
May you always know our love
Is small compared to what God has from above
May failure come and go
In time for your successes to grow
May you fight better than others
Remember even enemies are brothers
Let your advice be tempered with wisdom
So you won't be far from God's kingdom
May the love of Christ be found in you
And show in all that you do
Remember the first words I said to you
When you were more than an hour or two
when you get older
when you get older
you will be stronger
Just like a waving flag!
