    • Afternoon on a Hill

    (Edna St. Vincent Millay)

    I will be the gladdest thing
    Under the sun!
    I will touch a hundred flowers
    And not pick one.

    I will look at cliffs and clouds
    With quiet eyes,
    Watch the wind bow down the grass,
    And the grass rise.

    And when the lights begin to show
    Up from the town,
    I will mark which must be mine,
    And then start down.

    Quotes

    The Gift of Day

    Every day's a perfect gift
    Of time for us to use.
    Hours waiting to be filled
    in any way we choose.
    Each morning brings
    a quiet hope
    That rises with the sun.
    Each evening brings
    the sweet content
    that comes with work well done.

    Leaves

    (Gamaliel Bradford - from Shadow Verses)

    Down come the leaves,
    Like fleeting years,
    Or idle tears
    Of love that grieves.

    A tinkling trill,
    A pallid flight
    Like brief delight -
    And all is still.

    Today

    Quotes

    Today

    Today is mine. It is unique.
    Nobody in the world has one exactly like it.
    It holds the sum of all my past experiences and all my future potentials.
    I can fill it with joyous moments or ruin it with fruitless worry.
    If painful recollections of the past come into my mind,
    or frightening thoughts of the future, I can put them away.
    They cannot spoil today for me.

    Today

    Yesterday is just a memory.
    Tomorrow we may never see.
    There's beauty all around us,
    life can be so pleasant.
    Today is like a gift
    That's why it's called the present.

    Today is a Gift

    Yesterday is history,
    Tomorrow is a mystery,
    Today is a gift,
    That's why it's called the present.

    Monday's Child

    Monday's child is fair of face;
    Tuesday's child is full of grace;
    Wednesday's child is on the go;
    Thursday's child is a joy to know.
    Friday's child is loving and giving;
    Saturday's child takes joy in living;
    but the child that is born on the Sabbath day
    is merry and blithe and bright and gay.

    Monday's Child - original version

    Monday's child is fair of face;
    Tuesday's child is full of grace;
    Wednesday's child is full of woe;
    Thursday's child has far to go.
    Friday's child is loving and giving;
    Saturday's child works hard for its living;
    but the child that is born on the Sabbath day
    is fair and wise and good and gay.

    The poem was was altered to be more positive. I see why they changed Wednesday and Saturday but I don't understand about Thursday. It doesn't seem like a bad thing to "have far to go".

    Thursday's Child

    Use the wavy borderline to draw 3 lines all the way around the pages (the two outside lines are solid and center one is dashed so that it looks like a road). You may need to adjust things a little so the corners line up. Arrange various stickers from the vehicle stickers along the road. Use the title "Thursday's child has far to go". (Dona C. CMC)
