Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is children’s birthdays. If you would like to use any of these poems, please feel free to change the names and/or genders in them.

Today’s poem is a birthday number poem for the parents of a one-year-old girl.

One has piano legs and chubby cheeks.

Now she babbles, now she nearly speaks,

Embracing heartily the words she seeks.
