LOVE it. This is one of my favorite little poems, 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 for ever and ever. Oh how I love six. LOVE it. This is one of my favorite little poems, 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 for ever and ever.

This reminds me of those Hallmark commercials- the ones that just make you smile and laugh and cry all at the same time, with little warm fuzzies all over, that make you want to run and hug the first person you see and tell them how much you love them. In short, it made my day! Make sure you save this one for her someday, its amazing! Oh goodness.
