Most wonderful smile

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 reserve, rare hit or miss
Visit is over, we say “Sweet, so long.”
Coy rejoice, holds daddy all along
