Yes, I know that poem well. I've never seen it printed with those pictures of the children. That would make a nice decoration, framed in a child's room.

I thought this was going to be about the song "Day by Day" from the musical Godspell. Now I have an earworm. 😁

Yes I do know this poem, though.

Oh yes--for many years now--both my kids and myself are Thursday children!! Both have done alot of traveling in their 40+ years-- I traveled from New York to Wa state as a baby and have done some traveling but not much. Thats what "far to go " means.

I just googled "what day of the week was" and inserted my birth date and it came up, even with a whole calendar for that year so I'm a Friday and my hubby is a Thursday. Try it yourself.

@chessygal When I was born, my aunt made a plaque for me that she painted with my name, birthdate and an image of a little girl pullling a wagon. On the bottom was the phrase,

"Sunday's child is good and gay".

I still remember that plaque with the yellow background

@chessygal,

I've heard this poem too.

It's a nice poem unless you are born on a Wed and maybe Thursd,

also Sat?

I think I'm just going to pick my day that I think fits and call it a day lol!

I do remember it though it's been many years since I've heard of it. I never knew the name of it either. I was born on a Friday.
