Children

Sunday’s child is full of grace,
Monday’s child is fair of face;
Tuesday’s child loves to race,
Wednesday’s child is kind of heart;
Thursday’s child is very smart,
Friday’s child will never part;
Saturday’s child is good of heart.

Sunday’s child is full of grace,
God-touched heart gives warm embrace.
And while the Sun gives light and heat,
The Son Himself makes the child complete.
Born on Sunday, blessed be
For blessed are you by One in Three.

Monday’s child is fair of face,
Attractive to the human race;
And while outer beauty’s by design,
Inside is where you really shine
And beauty’s mien lasts all life long,
Extolled in poem, story and song.

Tuesday’s child loves to race
And blessed with energy and grace,
You’re rarely still, your movements free
As like to run as climb a tree.
You’ll live a life of adventure and fun
Stopping only when you’re ready and done.

Wednesday’s child is kind of heart
Whose wisdom is seen from the very start.
An “old soul” is likely what you’ll be called
Your friends most likely quite enthralled
By the depth of giving in your soul,
Most blessed you are, as God makes you whole.

Thursday’s child is very smart,
As likely to build as take apart.
There’s little that you can’t discern;
Boredom’s never a problem where there are things to learn.
Knowledge is power, so guard against exploitation:
Just remember that God is at its foundation.

Friday’s child will never part;
For steadfast and loyal is your heart.
Slow to trust, but once it’s acquired,
Such devotion a gift, and awe-inspired.
Let your heart and faith be your guide,
Your fidelity and honor in God abide.

Saturday’s child is good of heart,
Who finds the best, most admirable part
Of every person to pass your way.
You’ll find something just to brighten each day.
Seeing through the clutter, you find the Divine
And with every person, you help it shine.
