The small town boy

Dreaming big when he was in school

Learning and hardworking

The world he wanted to pursue

When school life was over

He knew where he would be

Learning his ropes acquiring skills

In the bus station night school

When he got his diploma

Into the city he conquered

Learning fast acquiring knowledge

In no time he learned the rudiments of work

With his experiences and education

He embarked on his next stage of his life

In Hong Kong the free enterprise

He deals and wheels to get his wealth

The small town boy now rising fast

Into the world stage he has arrived

The world cities he lands

Smells the aroma of life

Enriches his soul and mind

He knows this is where he stays

Now the guide posts

He plants it as he sees

As the years drawing away

He smiles in his own way

The small town boy

Now in the world he gazes

The far cry of his root

He toasts as he whispers to the candle lights

As wife, families and friends wishes

The good year many will come

When Izzy sings her birthday tune

“Happy birthday grandpa”
