 Just for you.

I carried home the groceries from the store

 I wanted to be helpful with a chore

I put them all away except a few

Just for you.

Some day I'll be grown up too

And if I can I'll grow up just like you

 I ate up all my lunch just like you said

But I think there was a little too much bread

 And so I left the crust when I was through

 Just for you.

red – redder – the reddest

fine – finer – the finest
