Now We Are Six

For Elijah and his new favorite number...

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.

-A.A. Milne
