Leaflets From My Life - My Generous Grandpa Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Leaflets From My Life - My Generous Grandpa
A man with overwhelming generosity,
Ahead, standing tall, above all mediocrity,
Affectionate, kind, full of curiosity,
Altruistic, liberal, full of philanthropy,
Aglow with warmth of love and empathy.
Ah! That was my dear Grandpa!
To serve cooked food for the poor,
To all the workers who served the family,
To give with humility without a shred of pride.
To offer shelter to the homeless with compassion,
To educate young girls, boys, and send them to schools.
Hey! That was my dear Grandpa!
Never hesitated to give away his land
To the farmers who toiled so hard in the farms;
Never regretted to bestow his antique valuables
To the relatives, neighbours and friends;
Never refrained from extending his hand
To the desperate people drowning in debts;
Ahoy! That was my dear Grandpa!
How can I forget
My generous Grandpa who taught me
How to live a good life with love, compassion,
Meaningful existence with all fellow beings,
Heralding a new era of selfless service to humanity,
Managing many families alike without discrimination.
Am I not lucky to be the granddaughter of a super Grandpa?

In those generation people were selfless and caring, they were far from our material world where we keep confronting power game, one-upmanship, false pride and cut throat competition. They had the hearts of the Gold. Nice tribute to your grandpa..I pray may his soul RIP. Very touchy poem Geetaji.
