Poem
O Granny, you were always a gem A peerless rose with a rough stem Sharing the boundless love in your heart Without expecting any in return You stood steadfast As life tested you at ever turn You loved me, more than you loved yourself To an extent to which none can hope to return For 6 months, you were in a coma Waiting for me to come And see you one last time O Grandma, I still remember The way my hands shook As I constructed your earthly bed There was a lack of thought Only pain filled my head O Grandma, I'll never forget The feel of you in my arms As we carried you, ever so gently To the hearse Adorned with garlands, of sweet smelling flowers You looked like an Angel, from God's own Tower Oh Granny, they set you ablaze As tears streaked their way down Grandpa's face I was in a new world, unreal and fake The falsehood around me was to blame You went up in flames, taking me with you A part of me, that without which Life itself would lose its meaning As we left the crematorium, in a daze There was solemnity in every gaze When we returned, to the place that was your home Grandpa looked fallen, weary to the bone The renovation and flashy colurs made not a difference It felt barren, deserted, left behind Stripped of your essence, it was but a travesty, For outsiders to come and find Over three months have passed, O Grandma Since that morning, when the world became unreal Since then, every day has been a nightmare I laugh aloud, try to crack jokes But nothing I do, can fill up the gaping, endless hole Which exists inside me They say that time heals The hurt and the pain But what of unconditional love, stripped away from us Again and again? I promise you, O Grandma That I will be, the man you always wanted me to be I will fulfill, the dreams that you had close to your heart I will prove myself deserving Of the Love and Faith You always had in me I will be the Success, that you always hoped for Oh Guardian Angel, may your soul rest in peace May you be happy and content, in the Heaven That God has created for you For you are The glowing Diamond, You are Godliness in essence You are that which is purest of heart An Angel shining White, On Wings Of Virtue I love you, Oh Grandma, to the depths of my being Forever and Ever In this life, and beyond Your loving grandson Chirag
