That Dream

I saw you today,
i saw you today,
i saw you today,
my Granny!
 
You looked lovely,
You looked cute,
You looked so sweet
my Granny!

we laughed,
we talked,
and enjoyed a lot
my Granny!

You  kissed my cheeks
i kissed your cheeks,
and i hugged you tight
my Granny!

we laughed for long,
and talked for long,
and everything around
was so calm...

I could feel the air,
I could feel smell the flowers,
and could  really feel
the essence
of your rhymes and stories!

you asked me about my well being,
and i always replied smiling,
and your smile 
was so soothing

The stars twinkled beautifully,
and the fireflies danced wonderfully,
and everything around
was so heavenly!

I slept in your lap,
before all turned fad,
and you kissed me on my head
and caressed me
my Granny!

you smiled at me
and i felt your smile,
although my eyes were closed
completely..

I felt like a kid
who was with a fairly,
who knew and
loved her truly!
and made her feel heavenly..

I forgot for those moments,
that you don't exist actually,
but that what i dreamt
proves me wrong completely.

although you aren't alive
but you still dwell in me
my Granny!
Dream is the place
which still keeps us together
my dear Granny!

I loved you that day,
I love you today,
and will love you forever
my Granny!

And may the dream
i saw that day,
be one of those
i often see...

I was jealous then I remembered it's a dream because I never had a grandmother that did these things. I make sure to give my grandson plenty of time and kisses.

[Saumya]

This touched me deeply, awakened loving memories of my grandmothers and great aunts, that I was blessed with, so many years ago. I am a grandfather now. I hope that my grandbabies are now living the memories of me, as you so sweetly describe. Bravo!

full of emotions.
and very well written.

thank you Pushkar:)

[Jazique]

All I can recommend is go back and capitalize your "I" and other than that I thought you poem was great. It reminds me of a poem that a friend wrote who also lost her Grandma a while back but, still though sweet things when she remembered her. Your poem was very lovely and emotional with a great flow as you allowed your emotions to pour out.

[Michael (Letters and Li..]

A very nice and emotional tribute. I really felt your emotions throughout. Thank you for sharing!

[Saumya]

thank you Michael:)

[Vidya Bacchus]

This is a lovely tribute to your grandmother.Just because they are gone does not mean that we should forget them.Very nice my friend :)

[Saumya]

[Vidya Bacchus]

You are welcome :)

I love the repetition. Very sweet poem

[Penny]

This ius actually very sweet. A person truly needs love in my life and foremost he gets it from his family.. just as you said the poem has a dream like quality and its just too sweet to listen. You have inspired me as a poet to write sweet personal poems like this one. Thanks for sharing

I've been where you are, and I know just how this feels, dreams included...I was sufficiently moved by this piece...it was so easy for me to relate to this, as I'm sure it will be for anyone whose lost grandparents...truly touching and poetic :)
