Jovial laughter and those creases, sharing lines with the wrinkles On your soft, sweet face, of leather-like, but creamy skin, The edges of your mouth go up And they form benevolent crinkles I always picture you having. When you chuckle or give a laugh And make me smile at the same time too. Glinting spectacles and a big ***** to hug me tight Safe from harm, hidden from sight. You smell fresh and you smell like you. The scent I will always remember Even when you're not here. Your arms go round lovingly behind my back and tucks me Like I'm a little child, like I always am in your kind eyes. You love me so much and I can only return So much but it's not enough Because I'd like to give you more than the universe itself, to wish you a happy, peaceful slumber, when you march towards a better karmic reincarnation, when I finally have to let go of you, I dread the day I kiss you last And tell you how much, even though I say it all the time, I really do, I really do, I really do, love you from the bottom of my heart.
For my beloved, sweet, altruistic grandmother, Daw Khin Swe Tint <3
