Hello there, Samuel!
Samuel, this is a story that’s all about you, and all the spectacular things that you do.
SAMUEL
So please come along and we’ll show you it’s true— there is just one and only wonderful YOU!
Look all around, Samuel, and here’s what you’ll find: You are unique! You’re one of a kind!
So many cookies, Samuel!
The smile on your face is like no smile I’ve seen. You’re one special person, if you know what I mean.
Samuel, your mind’s full of magic to thrill and delight! Even on dark days, you make the world bright!
for Samuel
No job is too big; no task is too small. No matter what comes, Samuel, you tackle it all!
You’re strong and you’re brave; you’re a grand super hero. You give one hundred percent; you never give zero!
You’re my super hero, Samuel!
You dance and you dream from dusk until dawn. Don’t ever stop trying, Samuel! We’ll cheer you on!
Your adventures may take you away from your home, but your best friends will be there wherever you roam.
Samuel!
Samuel, everyone knows how terrific you are. We’ve always been sure that you will go far!
Because even if something doesn’t quite go your way,
you will turn things around the very next day!
Thanks for your help, Samuel!
You’re perfect as you, Samuel— there’s no one who’s better! So be true to yourself, and always remember. . .
There is just one you. No other person does the things that you do.
Yes, it’s absolutely, positively true. There’s just one and only wonderful you!
