How cool is that?!?
When my son was a baby, I got a cloth scroll with the poem below on it. Every day, when I woke him, I recited the poem.
As someone who writes myself - poems, stories, opinion pieces, guest articles for the newspaper - I don't like to share poems and stories if I cannot give the author credit. Because of that, I have periodically tried to discover the author/poet. Today, GROK on Twitter/X told me that the author's name was James Cash Penney.
What ?!?!? J C Penney wrote the poem that I recited to my son when he was little...and sometimes I still wake him that way.
Here's the poem:
Begin the day with friendliness
Keep friendly all daylong
Keep in your soul a friendly thought
In your heart a friendly
Song.
Have in your mind a word of cheer
For all who come your way,
And they will greet you too, in turn
And wish you a happy day.
By James Cash Penney
