Memories

The joy of summer holidays as a child,

Clinging to her grandma’s knee,

With curious wondering and great delight!

Listened strange tales of bear and beasts,

O what a joyous joyous company!

A lavish party of halwa and kheer,

Was your top-most breakfast merit,

Sometimes we laughed aloud,aloud,

In weather hot and sultry!

When the poor comes you would easily give,

Blessed be all your words and deeds,

The soul sacrificing I’ve never seen,

While going through your memories,

Your words echoed in my heart-“I love you…

I love you my child,

Now you are asleep in your grave,

A cheerless solitary being,

Farewell grandma,farewell to thee,

May you live forever in my memories,

May Allah forgive all your shortcomings,

May He fill your grave with light and peace,

May Allah gives you highest level of paradise.Aameen.
