Molly stop running
You’ll trip and then fall
Molly I’ve told you
Get down off that wall

Molly, don’t dive in the pool
Wait for me
You haven’t yet learnt
To swim safely

Molly, stop jumping up and down
On the bed
Put your wee head down
Sleep sweetly instead

The little girl who had no fear
Of obstacles in her way
Soon changed her parents worry
To pride in her one day

Molly keep on running
You’ve nearly won the race
Don’t hesitate, don’t look around
Keep up that steady pace

Molly raise your arms up high
Dive with grace and style
Two somersaults straight in the pool
You’re winning by a mile

Molly on the trampoline
Your jumps are good and strong
Your movements are artistic
You just can’t get it wrong

That energetic little girl
Who just would not be told
Stands proud upon the podium
To receive her prize of gold

You’re all grown up now Molly

Soon to be thirteen

I remember all your birthdays

And the moments in between

I’ve watched you growing up Dear Girl

Now a beautiful young lady

It doesn’t seem that long ago

When you were a bonny little baby.

So Happy Birthday Molly

Enjoy your special day

I love you to the moon and back

In each and every way
