A Tribute To My Grandmother
The sturdy single lady,
who triumphantly raised her 3 kids;
Though her path was dark and shady,
her aim was so profound and lucid.
If not her
then who
deserves the mother's day?
The jovial teacher and mentor,
who edified her lovable students,
in a stalwart way & so that emotional rapport
and so no haters and no truants.
If not her
then who
deserves the teacher's day?
The exemplary independent woman,
who toiled all alone amidst the chaos,
whose life a pristine path, one should zoom in,
yet she never boasted of and never grouched.
The self made woman, I revere,
who stood on her own feet,
until she drew her last breathe,
both literally and figuratively
If not her
then who
deserves the women's day?
A tribute to my grandmother who died last Sunday. She worked as a teacher and got retired before 27 years. Still, the school she worked was declared as a holiday as a mark of respect on the day she died.
