Nothing to compare with grand mother <br />As if some angel is living on earth for us to bother <br />With little sweet in hand and running after children <br />Falling on ground and again up to chase even <br /> <br />Why has she been glorified? <br />Her figure in family is very much magnified <br />House may look ghost mansion <br />As she is only one in house as symbol of unison <br /> <br />She has before her full garden <br />Son and in daughter-in -law with many children <br />Each one trying to get close and shower <br />The much needed love reserved for fewer <br /> <br />I feel whole world in her lap <br />I used to sleep sound with her tap <br />I will slip away from worry land <br />To go in oblivion known as dream land <br /> <br />Why grandmas and granny's are so popular <br />Even though their roles are not similar <br />One is with children by right <br />Other one has to make it by fight <br /> <br />Children miss both in person <br />They have close proximity with reasons <br />Grandma is always there to concede demand <br />Granny is painted by mother as special brand <br /> <br />There is something special in their eyes <br />Affection and love is in abundance and flies <br />What she after all deserve to be counted? <br />Not abused at all and forcefully hunted <br /> <br />Now we witness total change <br />They suffer and get ignored with the age <br />Confined in home and feel as if in the cage <br />Children and especially close ones shout at them with rage <br /> <br />Many old age homes have come into being <br />Not all the parents happily sing <br />They have their horrified tale <br />Happy here with no worry to pass or fail<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/special-entity/
