This is a poem that rised im my mind three years ago, when I was in my 10th standard. <br />Its so simple but still I value this poem a lot because what made me to jot this three years ago was <br />the memories of my Grandma.She left me when I was just three years old.I don't have much pictures about her in my mind. <br />But I knew that she loved me a lot and I too love her beyond these words. <br />This simple but sweet poem is dedicated to my Grandma (my Achamma) who still resides in my heart, even though she is in heaven now! <br /> <br />People coming and mourning <br />aloud and aloud.. <br />Tears dropping...but <br />for what? I didn't get! <br /> <br />A hand cmae to me and <br />dragged me across the crowd. <br />I couldn't stop that and <br />the voice-'your Grandma is dead! ' <br /> <br />For me, who was three, <br />what does it mean? <br />But I knew-its something <br />bad and without a smile! <br /> <br />I reached beside her; <br />lying under a white cloth. <br />'Oh! She is hiding beneath it, <br />Playing 'hide and seek'? ' <br /> <br />'Perhaps, she shouldn't hear- <br />I found you! '-I thought <br /> <br />'No, she is sleeping-but <br />she didn't give me the kiss! ' <br /> <br />So I gave her my kiss; for <br />she has slept before moon! <br />And told a secret in her ears <br />'Good night, sweet dreams! ' <br /> <br />But 'now', I realise, <br />that was a dark day! <br />The worst moment-for <br />I lost her forever! <br /> <br />But still I say- <br />'Good night Grandma'-for <br />she is having a sleep <br />without a wake-'an eternal sleep!
