Small and old, pretty and smart,
Busy and kind, funny in heart.
Tall and clever, strong and true,
These are words that describe you.

You may be small, but your spirit is big,
And your heart is filled with love and glee.
Old in years, but young at heart,
You always make a brand new start.

Pretty and smart, you shine so bright,
With a smile that lights up the darkest night.
Busy as a bee, you never rest,
With kindness in your heart, you always do your best.

Funny and tall, you make us laugh,
With your cleverness, you always have the upper hand.
Strong and brave, you face each day,
With courage and determination, you always find a way.

So here's to you, young one so dear,
May you always be filled with joy and cheer.
Small, old, pretty, smart, busy, kind, funny, tall,
Clever, and strong, you stand tall.
