4. Grown Up, by埃德加·艾伦（Edgar Allan）的客人
Lastyear他想要建筑块，
Andpicturebooks and toys,
A saddlehorsethat gayly rocks,
和小男孩的游戏。
But now he’s big and all that stuff
His whim no longer suits;
他告诉我们他已经足够大了
要求橡胶靴。
Last year whateverSantabrought
Delighted him to own;
Henevergave his wants athought
也不是他的愿望。
但是现在他说他想要枪，
The kind that really shoots,
我面对son
Demanding rubber boots.
Thebabythat we used to know
有些滑倒了away,
And when or where he chanced to go
Not one of us can say.
But here’s a helter-skelter lad
That to me nightly scoots
大胆地希望他有
A pair of rubber boots.
我敢打赌老圣诞老人会叹息
When down our flue he comes,
And seeks the babe that used to lie
And suck his tiny thumbs,
并在那个小床上找到
A grown up boy who hoots
在构建块，而是想要
A pair of rubber boots.
5. Looking Forward, by罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森
When I am grown to man’s estate
I shall be very proud and great,
并告诉其他女孩
不要用我的玩具干预。
6. Making a Man, byNixon Waterman
Hurry the baby as fast as you can,
Hurry him, worry him, making him a man.
Off with his baby clothes, get him in pants,
Feed him on brain foods and make him advance.
Hustle him, soon as he’s able to walk,
Into a grammar school; cram him with talk.
Fill his poor head full of figures and facts,
Keep on a-jamming them in till it cracks.
Once boys grew up at a rational rate,
现在我们在等待时发展一个男人，
Rush him through college, compel him to grab
在每个已知的主题中，都会浸入或dab。
Get him in business and after the cash,
All by the time he can grow a mustache.
Let him forget he was ever a boy,
Make gold his god and its jingle his joy.
让他保持一个狂热的呼吸，
Until he wins – nervous prostration and death.
7. When I Was One-and-Twenty, byA. E. Housman
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
“Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
但是，请保持您的幻想。”
但是我是一个和二十个
没有用来跟我说话。
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
“The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.”
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true.
8.眨眼间，詹妮弗·贝茨（Jennifer Betts）
In the blink of the eye, my world started to change.
我从步行到跑步到攀登和比赛。
眨眼间，我结交了朋友。
I was scared to leave but their warm eyes welcomed me on my first day.
眨眼间，我找到了我的初恋。
With their good looks, I was lost in a moment.
In the blink of an eye, I was growing up.
Rather than classes and homework, I had to consider colleges and futures.
In the blink of an eye, my world has changed.
9. A Mother’s Love, by Line Gauthier
My child,
As you climb
Life’s journey
To the best of my ability
我会带你的支持
And steady your ladder
Always I will encourage you
So whenever you look back
You will see my smiling face
支持和自豪
为你加油
Unwavering I will be
在你梯子的脚下
10. Before Sleep, byCatherine Anderson
我爱上了解剖学
the symmetry of my body
poised for flight,
the heights it would take
over parents, lovers, a keen
骑行真理和细节。
I thought growing up would be
this rising from everything
old and earthly,
not these faltering steps out the door
每天，然后又回来。
11. I Remember, I Remember, byThomas Hood
我记得，我记得，
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
他从来没有眨眨眼，
Nor brought too long a day,
But now, I often wish the night
我的呼吸消失了！
我记得，我记得，
The roses, red and white,
The vi’lets, and the lily-cups,
那些用光制成的花！
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
他生日那天的劳动
The tree is living yet!
我记得，我记得，
Where I was used to swing,
并认为空气必须像新鲜
吞下翅膀；
My spirit flew in feathers then,
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
我的额头上的发烧！
我记得，我记得，
The fir trees dark and high;
我以前认为他们的苗条
Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance,
But now ’tis little joy
To know I’m farther off from heav’n
比我小时候。

12. The Flight of Youth, byRichard Henry Stoddard
There are gains for all our losses,
我们所有的痛苦都有香脂：
But when youth, the dream, departs,
它从我们心中带走了
而且它再也不会出现。
我们更强壮，更好，
Under manhood’s sterner reign:
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with flying feet,
并且永远不会再来。
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain:
We behold it everywhere,
在地球和空中，
But it never comes again.
13. Roots and Wings, by丹尼斯·怀特利（Dennis Waitley）
If I had two wishes, I know what they would be
I’d wish for Roots to cling to, and Wings to set me free;
Roots of inner values, like rings within a tree
and Wings of independence to seek my destiny.
Roots to hold forever to keep me safe and strong,
当我做错事时，让我知道你爱我。
To show me by example, and helps me learn to choose,
To take those actions every day to win instead of lose.
当我需要你的时候就在那里，告诉我没关系，
To face my fear of falling when I test my wings in flight;
Don’t make my life too easy, it’s better if I try,
And fail and get back up myself, so I can learn to fly.
如果我有两个愿望，而我有两个，那么
我的爸爸妈妈可能会被授予。
I wouldn’t ask for money or any store-bought things.
我要的最大礼物只是根和翅膀。
14.外国土地，罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森
Up into the cherry tree
Who should climb but little me?
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad in foreign lands.
I saw the next door garden lie,
Adorned with flowers, before my eye,
And many pleasant places more
That I had never seen before.
I saw the dimpling river pass
And be the sky’s blue looking-glass;
尘土飞扬的道路上下
With people tramping in to town.
If I could find a higher tree
Farther and farther I should see,
To where the grown-up river slips
Into the sea among the ships,
To where the road on either hand
Lead onward into fairy land,
所有的孩子在五点用餐，
所有的播放都活着。
15.令人惊讶的是，凯瑟琳·脉冲星（Catherine Pulsifer）
It is amazing to see
How big they can be
Yesterday so small
Today so tall.
Children grow up so fast
婴儿他们不持续
The years fly by
它会让你叹息。
但是看着他们成长
就像看节目
The ups and downs
The tears and the clowns.
But no matter what the age
And no matter what the stage
Our love for our child always grows
他们将永远是您所知道的宝贝！
16.奇迹，作者：Amy Ludwig VanDerWater
Water the wonder
that lives in your brain.
Water your wonder
withquestions like rain.
The more that you ask
the more you will know.
And watering wonder
will help wonder grow.
Wallow in wonder
不管你去哪。
17. Don’t Quit, by Unknown
When Things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to Smile but have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out,
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You might succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up,
当他可能抓住胜利者的杯子时。
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown,
Successis failure turned inside out,
c的银色色调louds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.
