• When I was little, you'd comfort me.
    When I got bigger, you went everywhere with me.
    When I finished grade school, you'd sit there and listen.
    When I finished middle school, you were on a shelf.
    When I finished high school, you were in my closet.
    When I finished college, you were in the attic.
    Now you're in a box, being carried away, to another child who is waiting for someone who will listen.
