Bartholomew is very sweet, <br />From sandy hair to rosy feet. <br /> <br />Bartholomew is six months old, <br />And dearer far than pearls or gold. <br /> <br />Bartholomew has deep blue eyes, <br />Round pieces dropped from out the skies. <br /> <br />Bartholomew is hugged and kissed: <br />He loves a flower in either fist. <br /> <br />Bartholomew's my saucy son: <br />No mother has a sweeter one!<br /><br />Norman Rowland Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bartholomew/
