UNFORGETTABLE
Childhood witness fluid character,
Memories,
much forgotten sweeter,
Astonished
still remember grandma,
Etched
in memories floods at times,
Quiet
mind sits silently, contemplate,
How
closely I was to her bemused,
Charisma,
I have seen in parents,
But
the sheer love adoringly caresses,
Consolation,
her attempt succeeds,
Defeats
childhood anger groundless,
Unyielding
mom's requests get angry,
Usual
attempt to fast stubborn flees,
Mom
runs after me, exhausted, sits,
Holding
her head with palms look,
Her
silence warns me of dad's beating,
Ultimate
is a weapon to defeat by crying,
Laughs
at myself, ashamed of the act,
So
much anger sheathing visible,
All
drama automatic in fear of dad,
Get
successful, snatches victory,
Victory
over mom, dad prefers silence,
Warns
grandmother both sternly,
They
accuse grandma pampered me,
Express
their helplessness often, my fort,
My
fort was Grandma's lap, recluse,
She
knows all naughtiness support,
Loudly
say in my favor always,
Assured
of safety, hide my face,
Undoubtedly
she hugs me patronage,
My
constant harbor if in pain, troubles,
Childhood
unexplained fears hunt,
Fever,
weakness, vomiting, wounds,
She
is only allowed to be near me,
Close
to her, I cry with pain sleep,
Her
warm palm on my forehead,
Much
later, I adored the touch dearly,
Why
I feel so comfortable is a mystery,
In
family Grandma's presence in my heart,
The
soft feeling, if experienced only by her,
Never
saw her in life till her last day,
She
quit, and it was kept a secret from me,
Never
faced beating, anger, scolding,
Her
sweet talks remain unique lingers,
Confess
I disobeyed dad and mom,
Never
could bypass her advice,
It
never comes like warnings but request,
My
effort was to obey wholeheartedly,
One
condition that I couldn't tolerate,
Making
her unhappy was impossible,
Dad
was surprised by the hold Grandma got,
Made
me much more disciplined, sober,
Taught
politeness I followed till today,
Learned
her soft voice chosen words,
Conquered
heart of people tasting times,
Listen
to their praise to be polite,
Knew
the credit point to Grandma,
Her
advice to shed anger, pretensions,
Shamelessly
pushed my face to hers,
Promised
never to commit these mistakes,
Simple
promises, I admitted, are gold,
The
personality I carry today gets respect,
Children
are envious of this quality,
Never
I can get angry, prefers silence,
Hate
telling lies, fail to pretend,
My
wife and children know to respect me a lot,
But
this fluid character built by her,
Tolerate
troubles, exhibit infinite care,
Owes
to her consolations love,
Read
mythical books Ramayana,
Mahabharata
I read to her in evenings,
She
patiently listens to and explains,
Today
I know how linked to my root,
Missed
her presence physically the most,
But
she is only for me the unforgettable
