You stick out like a sore thumb
A giant among dwarves
A man among children
An original fish in the sea of cliché
In poems or prose,
You shine through:
Real, honest and true
In life, you’re strong
Confident and poised –
Not like those other boys
So help me if I think you’re different
Good-natured and fun
But my feelings are on the run
So be a dear and lend an ear
‘Cause you’re oh-so near
In this bright, new year
