You asked me why I smiled!

Sat close and gazed at you
Couldn’t miss that inane smile
You asked me, what made me smile
I say, you make me smile

Your look which is inquisitive
Of my baffled thoughts,
Your childlike involvement on that movie
Which is one another story

Your comments and teasings
On everything that happens around,
Your subtle naughtiness amidst
That eliminates the coldness surround

You evoke the child in you
And in me, by being so
You confound me at times
With the profoundness of you

The husbandly care tuned
With childlike outlook
Makes me bestow that motherly love
That is beyond all the affection!
