The Birthday Wall

In Daddy's bedroom down the hall,
there's a special place, The Birthday Wall.
Every year about this time,
he hugs me then he draws my line.

We look at where I used to be
when I was small and only three.
Much higher, then, the one for four,
then five, then six, and now one more.

On the wall two names I see,
my little sister's, then there's me.
Sissy's line comes to my nose.
To look at mine, she's on tiptoes!

Sometimes when I am feeling small,
I go down to see The Birthday Wall
to see how big I'll be next time
Daddy hugs me and he draws my line.

CJ, I'm impressed by the amazing inventory of children's material you have to draw on. This is just another example of something that's meaningful to both parent and child. You're precious, my friend, you already know that, right? :)

God Bless
Love, Lena

Hey CJ, there you go again, bringing back those memories. Ours was on the kitchen door. We never got a hug, we were told to get a job to pay for new clothes since we grew out of the old ones. lol

This is great! I do the same thing with all 11 of mine! My wall isn't so pretty 'cause they keep adding and erasing...competition, I guess! :) I love watching them grow! Thanks for this great poem! Good job!
