By J. Edward Mccall
Little Russell young and gay,
With sunny smile and heart OF gold
You born New Years Day.
And you will be five years old.
Then with face and eyes glow
To Kindergarten you will start;
And with you, day by day. will go
Your daddys pride and your mothers heart
With dancing feet. you face lifes dawn
And the winding road which you must tread
God grant you courage, faith and Drawn
To climb the hills that lie ahead
Your life is new, like the fresh New Year
With pages pure and spotless white.
May no dark bots stains appear,
To the record that you write
wish you health and Joy and luck
And OF birthdays, too my lad.
You'll win your spurs, il you keep your pluck
And be loyal OF heart, like your prince of a dad.
