Happy Birthday Conor

Happy birthday Conor,
  Today’s your special day.
As I write these words,
  You are so far way.

You’re a special person who,
  Deserves deserving words.
So I penned some down,
  That this day deserves.

Today you are eighteen;
  I hope you have a blast.
I wish you a happy one,
  From Oklahoma to Belfast.
