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.

Yes I have known this poem.  Cute one and once tried to figure out what day I should have been since my actual is a little off 😂

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
