Exclusively for My Nephew

A lil boy came to me one day shyly
So tiny and small
With a big bright eyes
He held my hands and asked me
"Will you be my beloved"

I laughed and asked
"What can I do for you"
Rolling his big eyes, he said
"Just say yes and I'll do wonders"
The look in his eyes made me say 'Yes'

He played with his friends
And searched for me now and then
Every one praised him for doing something good
And a pair eye turn to my side for approval
He did good at his studies
And told his friends that his beloved is his everything
He started a business
And looked at me for acknowledgement
He pursued higher studies
And believes his beloved is with him

We walked in the sun
We climbed a small hill as if it were the hardest thing to do
We sat for hours together in a thenanthoppu
We told ghost stories
We counted stars at night
We giggled for nothing
We discussed Osho, JK, Vivek
We argued on culture
We fought over things of unimportance to both of us
We cried together for his only brother's demise
We wrapped up his brother's things
And laughed out loud for nothing

He would send me nice greetings
Just to say how much he loves me
He would alter my photos
To say that he thinks of me all the time
He would email me regularly
Without expecting my replies
He would send his conversations with his girl friends
And wait for my acknowledgement
He would call me for suggestions
Though he knows that I donot know the subject
He would educate me on things
That I don't even cared in the past to know about

He sent me an email one day
"Call me"
I called him
He didn't talk much but kept smiling throughout and at last said
"I got my energy"

I got the meaning of it when he proudly sent me another email
"I got a scholarship"

I realized that
This lil boy has taken me as his
Beloved, guide, philosopher, mentor

What did I do to deserve this lil boy's love?
I am not sure.
But I thank God everyday
That I said 'yes' to my beloved boy who found me.
