Hugh's 13th birthday - 18 May 1960

Written by my Mother (Patricia Jones) in 1960

The ripe old age of thirteen years
you have attained today
Here's hoping that good luck and joy
will stay with you always
May happiness attend you
Good health be yours and then
Let courage be your guiding light
to the Fellowship of Men
For tho' you are now just a youth
with all youth's joys and tears
To Man's Estate one day you'll come
In not so many years
So set your sights on targets high
and train your heart and mind
Be brave and thoughtful in all things
and to others always kind
Help those who need a helping hand
And give to those in need
Then you can rest assured my Son
Life will be Full indeed
