MY GRANNY,MY LIFE.....

A real story of intense love between a granny and her granddaughter, and the pain of the granddaughter on losing her....

Once, there were days, I used to play;
Once, there was someone, in whose lap,I used to lay;
Once, I was gifted ,with every great gifts of GOD, that,
one strives for;
Once, I hadn't to fear; because,  someone, very dear to me;
was always with me, to take care;
Once, there were days, I needn't bother,
because I  had someone, sweeter than a brother

Once, there was someone,
who understood, all my emotions;
and she, had an immense perception...
Once, GOD gifted me,his best Angel;
she was no one other, than, :
 "MY GRANDMOTHER"

And, how sweet!! it is, to tell you,
my dear readers and friends...; that :
' if i am here today, its all because of her..,
Even today, I wonder, that what was
in her so stronger; that..:
i never had to explain, and she,
clearly perceived my pain...

To me, she was something, more than a mother;
And, I think, thats why,GOD made her,
my GRANDMOTHER;
I enjoyed with her, the most I could;
To me, she was someone, sweeterthah Kids.....

My day started, seeing her;
and , it ended,  sleeping with her..
I loved  her stories;
and, liked her night rhymes,
for me, with her, these , were..;
"The best times".....!!

Days passed, and she grew older;
Gone were the Cuteness, and seen was Dullness;
Gone were the Chubby cheeks , and seen was the Wrinkled Face of hers;
But something, that was still t he same, was;
The Love, Care, and Concern  for her,
Granddaughter.........!!

Honestly, to tell you;
No one in my life, Loved and Cared for me,
As she could....!!!!

Then, came the day, describing which,
My eyes get  filled with pain;
GOD, almighty ,called her angel, back to heaven;
and I in this confusing world was left, all alone;
NO ONE, to PERCEPT me..;
NO ONE , to SHARE  my feelings with...;
NO ONE, to FEEL the pain of my sufferings; and,
NO ONE , to SLEEP and LISTEN STORIES with;....

O, GOD, almighty, I'd really like to thank you...;
for gifting, such a lovely Angel of yours;
who has taught me a great moral, by her detachment, that:
"BIRTH and DEATH are, two basic truths of human life,
One who has come, has to go, and, GOD too, needs,
good people to be with him....."!!

O my  lovely Granny,  may you be safe,
wherever you are, and if, you can see and hear me,
I'd like to tell you, that:
"I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, and I LOVE YOU".....
and here on this earth, Iam totally, incomplete without you, and;
I really MISS YOU.....!!!!!!!!

This is an emotional experience for sure...like many that have already read it, I share the same feelings...I'm not sure if I've ever recovered from losing my own grandmother, but like you, I've never felt a sense of total loss...a very sweet and heartfelt write :)

This is beautiful, utterly sincere, gentle and passionate. These words come from a mind, spirit and heart that learned how to just 'be' from a very precious granny. That dear lady would be so proud of your creativity.

Just fighting back the tears saumya. This was so beautiful. I have read many poems about Grandmothers, those blessed women in our lives. And this was amongst the top ones!

I still miss my Grand Nan, even though she passed away many years ago.

I hope I am so loved and remembered by my grandchildren when I go.

Good job indeed and thank you!

Saumya you have touched my heart with this composition...people come in our life make it so beautiful and then one day leave us alone...but we still have their memories..memories that are very close to us,that we can never forget...

Pathgarh me jo phool murjha jate hain wo baharoon ke ane se khilte nhe
kuch log jo safar me bichar jate hain wo hazaroon ke ane se milte nhe...
