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 for ever and ever.

my favorite (not so)wee fella turned six-years-old last week. he is precious, wonder-ful , clever and sweet. he has the most beautiful, deep, soft speaking voice, and is the coziest snuggler in the world. he is tentative, artistic, quiet, gentle and funny. his laugh is infectious. he has been named “the best brother in the world” by both sisters, little and big, and he is a lovely and loving friend to all. i am so blessed to know him, to watch him grow, to share in his experience here on earth.
