Today I looked at her face
Her way of looking at me
My attempt to crudely assess
If she only fakes to be happy!
I noticed how parted her lip
When she spoke if twinkled her eyes
If her words fell gently or steep
Is she happy or hiding her cries!
I tried to read her face's lines
Looked to find on it a trace
If were laid there some signs
Crying loudly of hidden distress!
Can't say it was much of a success
For my eyes were biased lovingly
To read only one thing from her face
That she is quite happy with me!
