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 :)

You were extremely fortunate to have had such a bond with your grandmother. It's not the experience of everyone, my own was not close or loving at all, and didn't particularly care for little boys as she made quite plain. So this is a grand tribute to someone who cared, well done.

Good one, Now a days it is very difficult to see grandchildren loving grandparents. Thank you so much for sharing this.
"GOD, almighty ,called her angel, back to heaven;"- May be it is God Almighty, called his angel, back to heaven"

great are the pangs of pain that makes separation unbearable but time heals like nothing else will

[Veronica Chandler]

Such a beautiful tribute to your Granny. The emotion is thick on the page and I can feel it intensely; it can be so hard to get through missing our treasured loved ones who have crossed over.
Very well written.

This really touched me. I almost lost my grandma a few weeks ago and I would be devastated if I ever lost her. I was able to connect with you on several different levels. Thanks for sharing :)

Good work here!
Only one thing, and I think I might just stand alone here - I felt that the number of punctuation marks in this poem distracted from the piece itself - the semi-colons and colons in particular sometimes glare out at you.
I'm not sure if you were going for something there, so I stand ready to be corrected. But that's just a small technical thing, really.

I enjoyed this.
An emotional, heartfelt piece of poetry. Keep it up!

A touching write well expressed deep from your emotion how you love your mother. Great piece.
