Now
We Are Six
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
and forever.

Wow. Goosebumps. That pretty much says it all, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's such a joyful poem. I loved it when I was 6, and it's about all I could utter in response to the shootings. Kind of at a loss for words, really...
