A Toast: Here’s to a Wonderful Year

Maggie and Milly and Molly and Ma

By e. e. Cummings

Maggie and Milly and Molly and May

Went down to the beach to play one day.

And Maggie discovered a shell that sang

So sweetly she couldn’t rememberher troubles,

And Milly befriended a stranded star

Whose rays five languid fingers were;

And Molly was chased by a horrible thing

Which raced sideways while blowing bubbles

And May came home with a smooth

round stone

As small as a world and as large

as alone

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)

It’s always ourselves we find in

the sea.

Sometimes our world, our

classroom, can be so small. My hope

is to help us enlarge our world.

Teaching can be a lonely profession. My hope is to rid us of the sense that we are on

our own, alone

What do we want our children to know?
