Birthday Poems 2
(these were for children of various ages)
Now Lily you’re six and to tell you the truth
We all knew you would be some day.
So we want you to know just how happy we are,
And this little poem is our way.
When you’re six you’re not old but you’re still not grown up;
Is it better than being a baby?
Well that all depends on the parents you have,
But the only true answer is “maybe.”
Six may not seem like a whole lot of years,
But it’s really a special amount.
And the number is magical in many ways,
No matter how high you can count.
It’s two pairs of triplets or half of a year,
Or a litter of puppies or bears.
It’s the number of lives of a cat (minus three),
Or the shoes a six-legged horse wears.
It’s one less than seven but one more than five;
It’s more stairs than you want to fall down.
It’s the number of petticoats worn by the Queen
Beneath her most beautiful gown.
Half a foot is six (inches); half a dozen’s six too;
For small heads it’s the size of a hat.
And how many sides does a hexagon have?
Well, you know the answer to that!
Lily, you see how unusual six is,
As an age you will find it just fine.
Enjoy and have fun right through seven and eight,
And in no time at all you’ll be nine.
We’re sure your sixth year will be merry and bright
As any sixth year we have seen;
So this is the message your grandparents send:
Happy birthday from Roger and Jean. |
