LOVE OF A GRANDMOTHER

When mother is away on duty,

When baby son is left at home,

When the world needs caring for the infant,

The grandmother becomes beloved one,

She comes and gives bath to her grandson,

Who then soundly sleeps after bottled milk-feeding.

The caring grandmother stays for several hours,

As if she is like a lesson for loving her grandson,

She loves all - her husband, her son, her daughter-in-law,

She does it all the time, today and tomorrow,

Since she came in the family, and remains as guardian,

Emotionally and profoundly she does her duty.

She does not work for money,

She wants peace in the family,

She likes to love and be loved by all,

Yet she is alone as confusion runs inside,

As if she is the blue sky with gentle trust,

That all members do not understand.

She is like a crown upon family-mirror,

Its image does hold no reflections,

She is like a running figure, none can think about,

Sea wave cannot be measured, she is like that,

She is an ordinary woman, a simple housewife,

She likes to embrace pathos for her loved one.

EVENING SHADOW OF HER SKY

She is the lover as lover’s design,

She lives with husband, neither lover nor a loved one,

She lives in great surprise of tracing life,

She is one of vibrant waves, quality of loving heart.

She wants to see the earth at lava eruption,

She wants to see bottom of the sea,

She is moving in the dream of happiness,

She does not see evening shadow of her sky.

She is skillful caring her grandchild,

She says she is in service of everyone’s needs,

She flows with daily wages, as no work no pay,

She is also a mother, a wife, she is owner of her family.

She says she has duty as a domestic help,

This family needs it, as all members are busy and talkative,

She thinks she is industrious grandmother, like bee,

To protect her grandson who is a baby, in need of caring.

She hopes her evening days will go out,

She looks nothing, yet cool in upward vision of peace,

All she does scrolling with life struggle,

With beautiful eyes she sees infinite rays of love and life.
