The song is being played,
peace is being surrounded,
its refrain 'In loving memory of the one that was so true..' is making me nostalgic,
recalling memories of my childhood.
Yes,here i miss you Amma (grandma) ,
my ears hankering to listen your lessons,thoughts,morals.
Those bittersweet memories when i spent time with you and grandpa,
when i purposely used to act innocent to get pampered.
I remember those Wednesday eves when i used to take money from you to bring eggs
so that you can feed omelet to grandpa,
though you always knew that extra 1 Re. required for chocolate was my primary reason to force,
still you always smiled and gave me.
Today i have 10 in my pocket but those 10 can not fill out space for that 1 coin,
it was not just a coin for me,it was a token of indulgence,care.
whenever you were going out,I used to replace your walking stick with myself saying 'i am your stick'
now every time i look at any old aged lady with a walking stick that line resounds into my mind.
Your grandson used to tell 'Bada hoke aapko TV leke dunga',
so that you can comfortably watch spiritual channels,
now these words bring tears in my eyes,
because i have grown up now and i am about to become capable of gifting someone a TV,
but you are not here to receive ,
i can no more watch it with you sitting on your lap.
several times you brought smile on my face by convincing dad to buy me what i wanted,
now i miss you before asking him for anything.
Your coverage and support when i made mistakes and mom shouted me,
your restlessness and home remedies while i was unwell,
your innocent quite face when we used to talk about any modern thing,
your teachings and thoughts are being missed today.
Yes your cooked 'sweet rice' is being missed today.
'Simple living,higher thinking' is what you always taught us,
your lessons were difficult to understand at that time,
but now it really mean to me.
They say good people become stars and shine eternally,
i look at sky now and i feel blessed.
Thanks to you for everything and that song of 'alter bridge' which made recall many things about you. :)
