A sweet lady, tough and fearless, <br />Narrating stories that carries great lesson; <br />Always keeping track of my happiness, <br />My grandmother is indeed a grand old woman. <br /> <br />Rising seven children with brilliance, <br />Herding twelve grandchildren like a Goddess; <br />Rejoicing at our collective achievements, <br />She led a life commanding happiness. <br /> <br />And then struck that sinister disease, <br />Confining her to the bed forever quiet; <br />Hunger, thirst and all survival necessities, <br />Deserted her during that ultimate fight. <br /> <br />Battling challenges that life did pose, <br />Into the heavenly abode she did rose. <br /> <br /> <br />17 DEC, 2021 Hrs<br /><br />Ranjit Ravindran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/back-to-oblivion/
