I carried her.
("I can't reach.")

I played with her.
("The dragon's gonna get me!")

I held her hand.
("Look both ways!")

I put her shoe back on.
("You're the prince from Cinderella.")

I gave her my toys.
("They love each other. They're gonna get married.")

But when I see her

Next Christmas,

Will she remember?

Maybe that's why

[Children] are easier to be around:

They won't recognize you

When you come back, and

They won't miss you

When you leave.
