For my Nanimaa



She was tender hands that caressed you to sleep
She was a smile that spread across your face every time she would peek
She was stories that would make your eyes go wide open with wonder
She was fear when you would be naughty , just like the thunder

She was a kiss that would be on your forehead
She was a hand that didn’t strike but always blessed instead
She was soulful words that would enchant you
She was thoughts that would encourage you when you felt blue

She was a tender heart that held lots of love for everyone
She was memories of our childhood, our youth under the moon, stars and the sun
She was a rhythm that danced with joy
She was the sweet laughter of a joke that you could hear several time’s but still enjoy

She was my GrandMa , an epitome of love, beauty, strength, energy ,royalty and grace
She may have left us but we will always have her love, laughter and fond memories to embrace

Such is life I am told that people come and people go
But I want to hold on so tight , I have so much to share , so much to show

But I will be brave and be strong for all others
That’s what you taught us to be – be strong for  family ,  for your sisters and brothers

She watches over us now from up above the sky
Showering her blessings  always and asking us never to cry

Rest In peace my dearest sweetest Nani Maa
