Song lyrics: "Ruth and Sam", a 30th anniversary song
Verse 1
Summer of '96, the county fair, Sam threw rings and missed them every time. Ruth just laughed and tossed one from her chair, Won the goldfish for a single dime. He said, "Well, I guess I owe you a dance," She said, "Only if you lead me right." Neither one of them stood a chance: They were dancing till the end of night.
Chorus
Thirty years and you're still turning Like the wheel above that fair, Thirty years, the lights still burning, Ruth and Sam, you're always there.
Verse 2
Then a rented house with a leaking roof, And a crib you painted in the hall, Three kids running round as living proof That a goldfish really started it all. Late shifts, school runs, birthday cakes, Saturday pancakes, Sunday rain, Whatever life would give or take, You found each other's hand again.
Chorus
Thirty years and you're still turning Like the wheel above that fair, Thirty years, the lights still burning, Ruth and Sam, you're always there.
Bridge
And if the music ever slows, If the lights go dim someday, We know just how the story goes: He'll take her hand and lead the way.
Verse 3
Tonight the garden lights are glowing, The grandkids chasing round the tree. Dad blames his tears on wind that's blowing, And Mom just winks across at me.
Final chorus (×2)
Thirty years and you're still turning Like the wheel above that fair, Thirty years, the lights still burning, Ruth and Sam, you're always there.
Performance note: the chorus works as a sing-along; the last line can be repeated slowly a cappella to finish.

About this service
A birthday poem lands when it could only be about this one person: their habits, the joke the family keeps telling, the year they learned to drive at fifty, rather than the general wishes printed in every card. We write a personal poem around the details you share, in the tone that suits the age and the relationship, from a playful rhyme for a ten-year-old to a warm toast for a ninetieth birthday. Milestone birthdays get the number worked in naturally, not just tacked onto the last line.

Questions and answers
Can it be for a child?
Yes. For young children we keep words simple and the rhythm bouncy, so they can join in or learn a line.
Can it work as a toast?
Yes, tell us it will be read aloud at the table, and we end with a line that leads into raising a glass.

Yes. Once you accept the order, the text is yours to read, print, give and sign as your own.
