The Family Circle
''-■' I' love him, the boy who forgets! ..'"■ Does it seem sucn a queer thing to say Can't help it; he's one of my pets; ' Delightful at work or at play. I'd trust him with all that 1 own, ' And know. neither worries nor frets; . But the secret of this lies alone In the things that the. laddie forgets. He always forgets to pay back The boy who has done him an ill; Forgets that a grudge he owes Jack, - ■<■"■' And smiles at him pleasantly still, He always forgets 'tis his turn To choose what the others shall play; Forgets about others to learn '• • ' .The gossipy things that ' they say.' He forgets to look sulky and cross When things are not going his way; Forgets some one's gain is his loss; - Forgets, in his worktime, his play. So this is why I take his., part, Why I say he is one of my pets; I repeat it with all of my heart: 1 I love him for what he forgets!
