Glint In Your Eye

                                                                   It’s the way you walk

With your head down

And when people say hello

You don’t speak at all

 

This makes people afraid of you

Your serious dace intimidates them

And your silence unnerves them

Which makes them nervous around you

 

I see where they are coming from

I feel the same sometimes

But other times you soften

And show me that infectious smile

 

And then there is the glint in your eye

And that cheeky grin

When you are winding me up

With your outrageous comments

 

 

It’s those comments that got me

As sometimes it’s hard to know

When you are being serious

Or you are actually joking

 

But then that is me being gullible

Which in turn cracks you up

And brings around that laugh

Which makes me smile
