Poem
MY GRANDMA DEEMMA My Grandma, whom I called Deemma bathed me in showers of limitless love and blessings. Those feelings I am still carrying in my life. Deemma! An ideal hostess not to even guess, most competent in domestic chores and household management Grandpa! An unsuccessful lawyer with irregular income low and slow. Deemma met up his inefficiency, never blaming rather running ideal family. Off and on, in vacations, I had spent days with her. She narrated her life-long struggle and concluded‘While raising up kids, whole day’s ceaseless work made me frantically fatigued. At late night I had to seek for a small space to throw myself in bed. Yet, as I took glance on sleeping faces of my kids, I realized, I as the happiest woman in the world.’ She had only primary education permissible for women in those days. But her craze reached her daughters and son to succeed as toppers She was my idol holding extraordinary skill in sewing, knitting, embroidering. All the dresses of her grand kids were stitched by her. Lots of charming dolls excelling in handicrafts were gifted to me. Once she voiced to me ‘You call me Deemma, a typical address to old lady. Dear my child, I am aged, but mind is still young not coping up with body.’ Now being a Grandma I had to sense the same ruthless truth. She had bestowed me compassion and care in opulence. I got no scope to repay but only to offer my gratitude as tribute in silence. Trying to honor with my tribute roaming through reminiscence. 03/08/ 19 Fifth Place 'What's In A Name' Contest by Kim Rodrigues. 'YOUR CHOICE TRIBUTE VERSE' Contest by Brian Strand
