“Sam's 30th my big cousin”

Three decades spun—a milestone bright,  
Sam, my cousin, star tonight.  
Big cousin, mentor, partner in crime,  
Builder of laughter, architect of time.  

From childhood’s chase in grandma’s halls,  
To sneaking snacks and whispered calls,  
You sketched adventure in every year,  
A compass steady, always near.  

You taught me jokes and how to swim,  
And cheered me on when odds were slim.  
We soared on swings, we built with blocks—  
We braved the wild and outsmarted clocks.  

Now thirty candles light your cake,  
And every flame for memories’ sake—  
For sunny days at local parks,  
Late-night talks, and campfire sparks.  

Tonight’s for you: raise up the song!  
The road ahead is wide and long.  
May dreams find wings, and joy expand—  
Happy 30th, Sam, my cousin grand!
