When I was a small child, four and naive <br />You were shown to me in the picture, <br />You look very cute with sharp chin, <br />I touch you with great affection, <br />Though the family was in conflict, <br />In the north and we children felt the pain, <br />My love to you has grown wilder, but strong, <br />As my bones became longer and firm, <br />You are the topic of my conversation, <br />When others tried to flirt with me in person, <br />I smelled your fragrance, very unique to your roots, <br />You are my first and you are the last, <br />Knowing the fact, I was brought out, <br />The love plant never wilted nor dwarfed, <br />When they taught me to treat everyone, <br />As siblings, I treat you as my love, <br />You were the first to make me, <br />To have the goose bumps, <br />Let those Indian butterflies, <br />To play on my stomach, <br />Let those flashes of lights, <br />Criss cross in delight and dream, <br />You are the one, I love the most, <br />More than the welfare of my heart, <br />I let it to pound beyond its capacity, <br />When never forgetting thought of you, <br />Strike my mind again and again, <br />Even while I sleep and am awake.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-have-reason-to-love-you/
