Who Says You Don’t Understand?

When you see a tear in my eyes

You have them in yours too

When you listen to my laughter

You have a smile on your face too

Who say, you don't understand anything?

When you hear a glitch in my voice

Your eyes start searching for what’s wrong

When you feel my energy levels low,

I have your hug with a babble song,

Who says, you don’t understand anything?

For when I come back from work,

The security shows up on your face out loud

For when I am not around, amidst all play,

You’re looking at the photos and keeping tap on time

Who says, you don’t understand anything?

For when grandpa has his legs in pain,

My toddler trots to get the pain ointment

For when you see the anger in my voice,

Your shrill state tells me ‘I know I am wrong, sorry Mom’

Who says, you don’t understand anything?

When it’s to do with laughing and having fun,

Its daddy you choose

But when you are hurt and need comfort,

It’s always me you come to.

Who says, you don’t understand anything?
