TO MY GRANDMOTHER HOUSE

TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE

BY SANJAY YADAV


Many years ago,
When I was a small child,
I went to my grandmother's house.
The house was filled with happiness,
And every day I spent time
With my beloved grandmother.

Slowly, slowly, time passed.
I grew into a young boy,
And my grandmother grew older.
Her beautiful face still carried
The love and kindness of a princess,
Though sometimes she lost her eyesight
Because of old age.

But I spent time with her
During the days and nights.
Whenever I sat beside her,
My grandmother brought happiness
To her face and to my heart.

She taught me good lessons about life.
Sometimes, during the quiet night,
She told me beautiful stories.
I listened to her carefully,
Keeping every story
Within my heart.

But one day, I received the news
That my grandmother was no longer with me.
My heart became filled
With sadness and sorrow.
The happiness of our home
Seemed to disappear
From every corner.

Today, I miss my grandmother
I miss her stories,
I miss the time I spent with her,
And I miss those beautiful days
Inside her house.

When I return to my grandmother's house,
I see her photograph upon the wall.
Looking at her face
Makes me emotional,
And tears fill my eyes.

I do not know where she is now,
But I know that wherever she may be,
Her blessings are still with me.
I believe that she has gone
To God's house in Heaven,
Where she may now rest
In eternal peace and happiness.

Oh, my God,
Please keep my grandmother happy in Heaven.
Let her remain close to Thee,
Surrounded by peace and love,
Within Thy beautiful house.

Oh, my God,
Thou understandest my feelings.
Thou knowest how difficult it is
To live without my grandmother's love.

But this is the journey of human life:
One day, every human being
Must leave this Earth
And return to God's house.

Yet my grandmother
Will always remain with me
Within my heart.

Her stories will remain in my memories,
Her love will remain in my soul,
And her blessings
Will continue to guide me
Throughout my journey of life.

Whenever I remember her,
I shall remember her house,
Her stories, her smile,
And the beautiful moments
We shared together.

Grandmother,
Though thou art no longer beside me,
Thy love has never left me.

Thy blessings remain with me,
And thy memory
Will live forever in my heart.
