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 :)

Ah I miss my grandmothers on both sides of the family. I haven't seen them in years but I know deep here within the recesses of this writer's soul lies them in my heart of memories. Truly deep and connected they stay true to my heart for sure! I love and miss them, not a day they pass me because they remind me they are the ones that make me smile today and I am grateful for them :)

May your grandmother rest in peace as she watches over you my wonderful friend! Truly majestic :)

This is another tribute piece...so I will just say how the reflective voice comes out in this one...easier to write because the words come out naturally...and the pain is real and raw with emotion...I will say the same could go with this in editing...but this is a personal write...so I will leave this as is...

Awww I think this is a very sweet and emotional tribute to your grandmother. I lost my grandmother a little over a year ago so I can for sure relate. Very beautiful

[Traci]

Very sweet and heartfelt, Saumya. A Grandmother's love is a very special thing. I lost mine over 10 years ago but I still cherish the times spent together, and hold her precious memory close to my heart. This poem clearly expresses the love and admiration you had for yours and is such a lovely tribute. Well done, my friend.

[Saumya]
