Thursday’s Child has far to go…

This line dates back to 1838,

And has so many interpretations,

Both positive and negative.

Some read it as these children will go far in life.

Succeeding and excelling beyond their peers.

Some see it as children who will face great challenges…

From autism to physical impairments and more.

Another version says these are the children

Who will have long and fruitful lives.

So many expectations to pile on a child,

Just because of the day they were born.

But then again, Thursday’s children…

They know they can handle it!
