Work That Brain


To my handsome grandson Ryan who is 21 today. Key o` the door son, happy birthday love always Nannie and Star hugs xxx

Once upon a time
A bonnie lad was born
November the second
A cold and frosty morn
But with him he brought sunshine
With bonnie eyes of blue
A smile as sweet as summer
That stole the heart from you
Now that lad today is grown
Oh yes he is a man
Twenty-one the key of the door
Working on life`s plan.
He still has those lovely blue eyes
And when you see him smile
Your troubles seem to melt away
Just for a little while
He has a lot of brain to use
And plans that he must make
For he is very clever
And that is no mistake
So laddie get up off your butt
And take what God has gave
Go into this big, big, world
And never be a slave
But be true to what you are
And all that you can be
Up you get my bonnie lad
Listen hard to me
Life is for the taking
Be all that you can be
Do not waste time waiting
Time passes don`t you see
You can do most anything
Your heart and mind conceive
So do it bonnie laddie
You really must believe
Good luck my laddie
And if you choose
To work that brain
Then you won`t lose
Have a happy day today
May all your dreams come true
And just please remember
That Nannie loves you too.

Penniluck McGinnis
