Edgar Guest - Worth WhileEdgar Guest - Worth While
Work rating:
Low
He doesn`t care that I`m not rich,
Or that I`m poorly dressed,
That I`m a toiler in the ditch
He hasn`t even guessed.
My faults that other people know
He doesn`t even see,
For every night with eyes aglow
He toddles up to me.
Although I`m just a common dub,
And ordinary clay,
His cheek to mine he`s glad to rub
Before I go away;
And every night when I return,
He`s glad as he can be,
And though but little I may earn
He toddles up to me.
To come to me he`d leave a king,
If one were sitting near,
Unto no millionaire he`d cling
If only I`d appear.
And though but tattered rags are mine
When I go home to tea
With eyes that fairly beam and shine
He`d toddle up to me.
And so I`ve reason to be glad,
And reason to rejoice,
It`s worth the world to be a dad,
To be a baby`s choice.
There is no prize fame can bestow,
No joy can ever be
So real, as when, with eyes aglow,
He toddles up to me.
