The Journey of Life

A year is composed of a diverse array of unique days.

Days

By Annette Wynne:

"Every sort of day together,

Makes a year of every weather,

Rainy days and clear days, warm days and cool,

Holidays, vacation days and days to go to school,

Winter days and summer days and days of spring and fall,

To make the calendar, my dear, we have to take them all;

Here's a pretty day for trying, here's a rainy day for working,

But I cannot find a single day in the year for shirking.

There are days when we are very glad,

And days when we are still and sad;

But on all days, I find it good

To do to others as I would

Be done by—that's the way

To keep each passing day

And so spend happy times together

In sunny or in windy weather."

In her poem "Days," Annette Wynne beautifully captures the essence of life's journey over time. The poem not only reminds us that a year is composed of a diverse array of days, each with its own unique characteristics and purpose, but it also celebrates the beauty of this diversity. By embracing the variety of experiences that each day brings, we can lead a fulfilling and meaningful life filled with inspiration and appreciation for life's diversity.

Wynne's 'Days' is a vivid tapestry of life, where she paints each day with a unique brushstroke. She emphasizes the importance of accepting and appreciating all kinds of days, from the gentle drizzle of a rainy day to the crisp clarity of a clear one, from the warmth of a summer day to the coolness of a winter one. She highlights the significance of special occasions like holidays and vacations, as well as the routine of attending school, by acknowledging that a complete year consists of days from all seasons—winter, summer, spring, and fall. The poet suggests that we must embrace the full spectrum of life's experiences in order to truly live.

The poem also touches upon the idea that each day presents an opportunity for growth and learning. While some days may be more conducive to trying new things or pursuing adventures, others may be better suited for focused work and productivity. Wynne reminds us that there is no room for shirking our responsibilities, as every day holds the potential for personal development and achievement.

Moreover, the poem acknowledges the emotional highs and lows that we may encounter throughout our lives. While some days are filled with happiness and joy, others might be characterized by melancholy and stillness. However, Wynne's powerful suggestion is that regardless of our emotional state, it is essential to treat others with kindness and respect. By adhering to the golden rule of doing unto others as we would have them do unto us, we can navigate life's challenges with grace and compassion, fostering a sense of empathy and compassion in our interactions.

In essence, "Days" serves as a gentle reminder to embrace the diversity of experiences that life offers. By accepting and appreciating each day, whether it brings sunshine or wind, we can cultivate a sense of gratitude and find happiness in the journey of life. Through this poem, Wynne encourages us to approach each day with an open heart and a willingness to learn, grow, and connect with others, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling existence.
