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.

One of my favorate peotry books as a kid. The best one is King John's Christmas. I made my mother read that over and over again.
My wife and I bought a cabin on an island in Puget Sound and the last line of the poem was painted on the floor of the kitchen in a circle. We think it is one of the most unique things about the house and point it out to everyone who come to visit. Bill
This poem was printed on a remembrance tableau for a six year old boy who died in an accident. He was from my kid's daycare. It was heartbreaking to read the poem in such a context. This little boy will be six for ever and ever.......
