At Six, dear Thomas, it’s not hard
To read the poem on this card
Our Capricorn’s important date:
Today is January eight!
You start 2020 on a high
Dad’s ”6-shaped” candle, primed, stands by
And the “Six” balloon now makes it clear
That you have entered your 6th year!
You swim, play sport and love new things
Mum’s “Basic Maths” book such joy brings
Each stepping stone you take is right
Your learning fills us with delight!
Not forgotten in your entourage
Your belovèd Grannies, who loom large
And Auntie – all on hand to say:
Enjoy your very special day!
Such talent spiced with cheeky wit
Each question has a point to it;
That enquiring mind means you’ll go far;
In a word, dear Thomas, you’re a star!
(c) Poet in the woods 2020
