Grandma's Album of Life

Taking a trip down memory lane 

Slowly turning the cover page 

With her soft wrinkled hands

Grandma, blissful and nostalgic, shares the stories from the album of her life 

Those which she has been waiting to share 

With the generation that follows 

The stories from the time when internet was not in the world

And when letters were used to peddle love 

Covered with dust, torn and twisted, the album,

displays Grandma holding two-year old me onto her lap

It shows me being caressed

The album,

showcases the stories of how a generation has been raised 

The album,

in many ways, tells us how lives were being lived

when, unlike now, the world was not so exposed

The album,

has in it not a single personal story of Grandma 

But the stories that depict incessant togetherness, profound connection and mutual love 

It speaks of how Grandma has lived her life for us
