OH, you laughing little fellow, with your eyes agleam with fun, <br />And your golden curls a-mockin' all the splendor of the sun, <br />With your cheeks a wee bit redder than the petals of the rose, <br />You don't know just what you mean to your daddy, I suppose. <br /> <br />With your rompin' and your shoutin' an' your laughin' through the day, <br />You've no care of what's before you, what lies yonder down the way; <br />Why, your little brain is whirlin' with the gladness of the earth, <br />An' of course you have no notion of how much to me you're worth. <br /> <br />Jes' keep laughin', little fellow, keep those eyes agleam with fun, <br />Jes' keep rompin' in the meadows an' a-dancin' in the sun, <br />For the bloom of health upon you is the thing I want to see, <br />Coz, you bright-eyed little fellow, you are all the world to me.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-fellow-2/
