Famous Children Poem

Annette Wynne’s poem "Each New Little Day Slips Out of My Hand" reflects on the fleeting nature of time and the contrasting experiences of good and bad days. Through simple language and a flowing rhyme scheme, Wynne captures the bittersweet cycle of days passing, with good days seeming to vanish quickly and bad days lingering. The poet uses repetition, as in "Each new little day," and imagery of holding and folding days to evoke a sense of longing to preserve joyful moments. The reflective tone and cyclical structure emphasize the inevitability of time’s passage while ending with a hopeful acceptance of each new day.

Each New Little Day Slips Out Of My Hand

By more Annette Wynne

Each new little day slips out of my hand,
And then with another new day I stand;
But soon that is gone and folded away—
I wish I might keep forever one day!
I wish that one good day might always stay,
For the good days hurry on so fast,
Only the bad days seem to last;
But soon the worst of days is past;
And now within my room I stand
With a new little day within my hand.
