Lines Written in Kensington Gardens, by Matthew Arnold

IN this lone, open glade I lie,
Screen'd by deep boughs on either hand;
And at its end, to stay the eye,
Those black-crown'd, red-boled pine-trees stand!

Now We are Six! (AA Milne)


A special birthday post for wee niece, Kaylyn


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.


Happy Birthday, Kaylyn!!!!
