Great Peter the Adventurer,

Set off upon your path today,

Perhaps you’ll play at knighthood, Sir,

In search of dragons you might slay.

An astronaut on Planet X,

Or else, a captain on high seas,

A scientist, an athlete-  Yes,

I’m sure you will excel at these!

And as you age, if you should face,

Some dragons which are fiercer still,

As you once played, stand unafraid,

With valiant strength and iron will.

But, if the dragon wins sometimes,

And you should doubt what’s right and true,

Let these short lines serve to remind,

How much we all believe in you.

Tonight, sleep tight in mother’s arms.

Tomorrow, you’ve got work to do!
