When I was forty five days old you
took me from Mom's hands;
All you did was love me lots and
always understand!
You fed me, bathed me, fought with me and
made me study hard;
No TV, no games till I get an
'A' on report card!
You made me feel like queen of the world - you
got me everything!
We were best friends; you told stories and
songs that you would sing!
You loved me, cuddled me, adored me and you
made me laugh out loud.
Oh Paati my dear, I miss you loads - I'll
someday make you proud!
Paati- Grandmother (in Tamil, a south Indian language)
