Most wonderful smile

Most wonderful smile   Pretty little girl is coming to town Not seen for a while, glad she came down  She smiles at us, but clings to her dad Then frowns a little, may be she’s sad  Delicate tress partially covers her face Lovely little hands twist soft silk lace  Sits at the table asks, “when, what, how!”         Giggles at Bapu when he sneaks in a “wow!”  Butterfly flutters on her lemon yellow dress Runs with her cousin who tries to impress  We try to convince for a hug or a kiss She remains reserved, a rare hit or miss  Visit is over, we say “Sweet, so long”             Coy rejoice, holds daddy all along                                            —————-              After Samir and Grand daughter Ava’s visit.           June 2009
