Oh, the places you'll go! Dr. Seuss

We attended our friends beautiful baby's first birthday. She had a "Oh the places she'll go!" party. The lessons in the Dr Seuss book is very useful for adults too. I read it often. It is worth getting a copy of the full text.






With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!



Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.
   

But on you will go

though the death be foul.

On you will go

though your enemies prowl.

On you will go

thought the Hakken-Kraks howl.

Onward up many

a frightening creek

though your arms may get sore

and your sneakers may leak.
