Grand mother…
O my grand mother
Where are you
Where are your sweet songs…
Where is your sweet food…..?
I always miss your soft touch
On my forehead
I always miss your fairy tales
At the bed time
Where is that blue sky
And Full moon light
The soothing shade
Of those mango trees…?
Grand mother….o my grand mother
Where are you ?
I always remember my childhood
And the time I spent with you….
My tear swollen eyes for want of food
And your sweet words “wait my prince.
I am baking breads for you”
And your fingers getting burnt
From the frying pan due to hurry…..
And I also remember your sweet lulla-bys
Which you always sang to me at dinner time
To feed me ....with your loving hands
Will these things never return…
Can you not come back to me…?
Grand mother….o my grand mother
Where are you
Where are your sweet songs…..?

सुन्दर भावनात्मक रचना । वर्ना आज दादी को कौन याद करता है न मीठे गाने ,न खाना खिलाते वक्त के गीत , दादी का राजा बेटा या राजकुमार कहना । वेट माइ प्रिन्स की जगह वेट माह राजकुमार कैसा रहता ।
ReplyDeleteVery sweet and beautiful poem. Grandmothers are a very very special part of our life. I was thinking about my grandmother while reading your poem as I lost her 7 years before.
ReplyDeleteHello Hemanth ji,
ReplyDeleteI went through your blog and realized that you have great interest in writing creatively and you love to write for children just like me. I am in the beginning stage of creating a blog, but have great interest in writing poems and stories, especially for kids. I look forward to read more of your stories and poems.

Love, affection and respect for our elders are ingrained in us and in our society. These words bring back fond memories of my Dadi who loved me very much
