Golden 16th Birthday for Zachariah

It is Zach's 16th birthday today. His Golden Birthday. His mom embarrassed him quite well today as we were in our gathering with the whole of the church present. Zach was hesitant to get up in front of everyone but he finally did. This link will take you to the video on YouTube of the event. The song is an original birthday song by Mala and in her usual style of blending the characteristics of the birthday person with music ,she did a superb job. Thank you Mala! It was a great gift for Zach that he will have for the rest of his life.

Here is the link: http://youtu.be/MVBHZxyL7Lg

Enjoy!

I'll put the words out here as soon as we are able to get them from Mala.

UPDATE: Here are the words to the song.

Oh How We Love Zach!!!

 

How we all love Zach

And we're so glad he's back  from Africa.

He is one great kid with a heart SO BIG

And that's a fact y'all

We love you Zach- so glad you're back...dear Zach!!

 

 

Abba and Amma miss Zach

Wish that he'd come back to Africa!

He was such a help to them

Did the work of 50 men in Africa!

They love you....and we do too!!! Dear Zach!!

 

And it's your golden birthday,

And we just want to all say,

Happy Golden Birthday to you Zach!!

Yes it's your Golden Birthday,

And we just want to all say

Happy 16th Birthday Zach!!!

 

Zach's a popcorn addict

and a chocolate chip cookie fanatic

in case you didn't know

He has a servant's heart

and gives with every part wherever he does go.

He's got a heart so big

we sure love this kid....Zach!!!!

 

Zach loves babbies and toddlers too

There's just so much this young man can do.

And he willingly shares his room

With 4 little Sonic Booms

Andrew-Noah-Eli-and Brandon

Zach you're one amazing young man!!!

 

And it's your Golden Birthday!

And we just want to all say.

Happy Golden Birthday Zach!!!

Yes it's your Golden Birthday

and we just want to all say,

Happy 16th Birthday Zach!!!
