Product Information

Pooh was getting rather tired of everyone ganging up on him, and he wondered if there was some way he could grab just a couple more votes. He suddenly thought of his old friend Vikki Blows. Now if he inserted the picture here... stars. In case I'm not the only one who didn't realize this, these books are not Winnie-the-Pooh sequels in the way that The House at Pooh Corner was a sequel to Winnie-the-Pooh, even though they're listed as #3 and #4. These are poems that were written and published before the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, so there are a number of references to Christopher Robin and a very few to "Edward Bear," and the rest are unrelated poems, generally from a child's perspective. This often-used quote is an excellent reminder for anyone who has had to say goodbye. Instead of being sad to say goodbye, it’s better to be thankful that it happened. 8. “But, of course, it isn’t really good-bye, because the forest will always be there… and anybody who is friendly with bears can find it.” Although I loved having special books just for me on my very own bookshelf, these books left me kind of lukewarm. (Despite, as you might guess from how I review books now, my NOT being a lukewarm, beigey kind of child.) Pooh: So he seeks to adulterate you? It seems a most unnatural thing to desire. Surely a child must be but a child, for what else can he be? Ay, there’s the rub, to be a child or not to be. Come sweet Robin, we go to gather honey and thusly feign to be a bee.

All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems… But all these stars are silent. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them… In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night. You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me… You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure… It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh.This is as close as it gets to a reference to death in Pooh’s world. The bittersweet words might be an appropriate quote to use for a funeral program.

If you are reading a poem at a loved one’s funeral, here are some tips to help guide you:

Read the poem slowly – use the natural pauses in the poem i.e. a comma, full stop or period, to take a breath.

Popular Poems

As we mentioned, Milne’s characters offered great advice for a variety of situations. Are you feeling lonely and forgotten? Perhaps you need to reach out to others. 15. “It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like, ‘What about lunch?’” And I realise that I don't want to grow up, so I start crying, as I remember how much that last chapter used to confuse me. But Now I understand it. And I don't know if its a good thing or not. I miss my sweet little hardcovers from childhood, stained from my very own grimy little girl hands; I loved having a separate "grown up book" each for "When We Were Very Young" and also "Now We Are Six."

Actually, he doesn’t have much to say about the subject directly. Instead, most of the quotes are about how to say a proper goodbye . 1. “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”
