Hi! Little One so soft and pearly,
Your mother from afar is a little worried,
That I might snuggle you too hard,
So soft and gentle as you are!
She knows me well but she trusts me not,
For once I lovingly hugged her a lot,
She mowed and cried till her throat went soar,
Glared at me later like an angry boar...
Haha! I laugh even now when I think,
Of those benign eyes in anger blink,
For sure she can't be much angry with you
Let me kiss and let me cuddle too...
Don't be scared don't run away,
So shy, so quaint, so small and frail,
Scampering on your little hooves,
You might get hurt Oh! please don't move...
I will follow you around the little green lawn,
I'll hold your tail in fondness, dear one!!
I mean no harm, please come to me,
For you are the right size for bear hug, you see!!
