The End - By A.A. Milne

When I was One,
I had just begun.

When I was Two,
I was nearly new.

When I was Three
I was hardly me.

When I was Four,
I was not much more.

When I was Five,
I was just alive.

But now I am Six,
I'm as clever as clever,

So I think I'll be six now 

forever and ever.

 - A. A. Milne

Fun Activity:

Ask your child their thoughts on their current age and the next year to come. Record their answers, and give it a try every year on their birthday. They’ll love to look back on their responses when they’re older, and rereading their answers will be sure to make you laugh.

Early September

By Me (Widya)

When you really need a hug,

But loneliness embraces you.

And you end up asking your God,

To change your heart with a new one.

The one that doesn't go up or down easily,

The one that forgets all the past sadness or worries,

The one that doesn't care if anyone cares or not with its feeling.

Because life will be hard if you carry your old and heavy heart around.
