Tale Of Grandmother Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul
Tale Of Grandmother
"Grandmother, Grandmother you come and sit,
Tell us a nice story, mother does admit, "
Said jolly children and offer a chair,
Sitting on chair, tell Granny who has flair. [1]
She looks around the children with a smile,
Pat them with love and tell them in wile.
She plays children's hunch and does start,
Story tells of great men, deities and heart. [2]
Granny tells how do the great men achieve?
In their life they face many problems and grieve.
Manny people torture them, hinder their path,
Yet they go forward and improve on Earth. [3]
Great men and great women have certain aim,
They do hard labour and don't bother for fame.
They think all to be good and love to all,
They don't damn tormentor and never have gall. [4]
Children ask to Grandmother, "Who are deities? "
Granny explains, "They always do moral duties."
Deities are like human beings but have no violence,
They have purity love peace and power of tolerance. [5]
Due to virtuous qualities they have miraculous power,
They can fulfil the will of devotees within hour.
Grandma says, "Children! You will be great too,
Try to have righteous qualities, avoid violence-zoo."[6]
Children thank the Grandma, request and say,
"What is the heart? Please attention pay."
Kindness sympathy empathy and help to others,
Are known heart, you are souls, all are brothers.[7]

Grand parents are great story tellers and children rally round them to listen to their interesting stories! Often they narrate the deeds of great men and how they managed to climb great heights through their hard work and perseverance! Their stories are so inspiring! An uplifting write!
''Children thank the Grandma, request and say, What is the heart? Please attention pay. Kindness sympathy empathy and help to others, Are known heart, you are souls, all are brothers. [7] '' - I love this stanza! The poem brings back memories of my own childhood...absolutely beautiful!
I love this, as it tells a story of what happens in another country between the generations, which sadly does not happy as frequently as it once did in Ireland and the UK. What a wonderful lady and story teller. Namaste
What a lovely and inspiring story. Sitting by grand mother and listening to story is some thing that all children enjoy. Very nicely written.
Grand parents are a vital asset to life and a pillar in the life of young people. They are the spice of life. Thank you for a lovely poem.
