She Smiled

She arrived late this time,

To make Him some food,

But mother Yashoda wasn't angry,

The maiya even gave Her a smile so good.

Thus, She started Her kitchen journey,

But Her eyes were always restless,

Awaiting His arrival.

Sure enough,

He came with a fanfare,

Teasing Her right then and there.

Sure enough,

Mother Yashoda scolded Him,

Kicking Him out of the kitchen,

For once, His Hladini Shakti chuckled.

But soon enough,

As mother Yashoda had Him send the Girl back,

He continued to tease Her,

Throughout the way,

Playing with Her,

Through the power of His words,

Rendering her speechless,

Time and time again.

Sure enough,

Despite looking angry,

Despite looking like She wanted to run away,

Secretly She smiled,

Secretly Her heart warmed.
