Granny
As soft as snow As delicate as cake
Her heart is full of candy flakes
As farther she moves As close she reaches
Her nerves carry innocence like water in the beaches
As beautiful as the moon
As bright as the sun
Whoever hurts me she makes sure that they burn
Emotions flow from the bottom of my heart when I receive a kiss
I regard she came into my world just to add some bliss
People criticizing her makes them too lame
Still she doesn’t blame
So she says,
Nobody can win the game of life as they claim
As fierce as a tiger As cute as a rabbit
She preaches knowledge that becomes others habit
Sliding through ages she has now grown feeble
But her senses are still able to recall my cradle
She makes sure that the clouds of sorrows fade away
So that joy and happiness can finally make a way
Love and care is what I want to give in return
For the effort and dedication that she put in her turn
Leaving her blessings I know she will leave me
But her memories are immortal which will heal me
This truth of nature is what everyone has to face
Even her last breath motivates me to continue the chase
