I looked at you.You looked at me.
I gently pushed the
gift wrapped box
towards you.
"For you Pa"
I said.
You opened it.
"Oh! That gel!
Now when I have no hair!"
I could see your smile
move stealthily
from the lips
to those eyes.
"First salary"
I added.
You looked up, awed.
I could see those tears
you chose to hide.
You smiled again.
That same familiar smile.
And I smiled too.
