1
A girl rode through the gate.
2
She was two hours late.
3
She got off her horse
4
and her mother, of course,
5
was standing there waiting,
6
standing by the gate.
7
"Where have you been?
8
Don't you know it's almost ten?
9
I've been so worried-
10
you should have hurried-
11
this better not happen again-
12
better not happen again!"
13
"Well Mom, ahem, uh-hum,
14
I know I should have come
15
home long ago,
16
but you know
17
I was having such fun
18
riding in the sun."
19
The mother huffed and puffed-
20
she said "I've had enough,
21
You must stay home and play alone
22
for a week!"
23
and her voice was guff.
24
But Grandma was standing there
25
and caught mother unaware.
26
In a quiet voice she said
27
"You know Joyce,
28
you've forgotten something there
29
don't you remember when?"
30
Well, I remember when
31
you were a girl of ten-
32
you may not recall
33
that you did it all
34
when you were very small-
35
but I remember when.
36
So mother hugged daughter
37
and daughter hugged mother
38
and grandma smiled
39
all the while
40
and then they all sang this song.
41
I remember when
42
you were a girl of ten
43
you may not recall
44
that you did it all
45
when you were very small,
46
but I remember when.
