My Dadu

Since I was small you have
taken care of me like a mother!

You have always given 
unconditional love and utmost care!!

I have lost the count of things
you have done for me,

All the years that went past by
you have only given me glee!

From the time you told me 
those lovely bedtime stories,

To the time you succumbed to 
my wishes when I said please!

Ride back home from school every day 

paranthas with which I was nourished,

the comfy afternoon naps in your tokri, 

those moments made my childhood cherished!

Even now when I do something daring, 

you always are caring!

You protect me without any fail, 

no matter how naughty I sail

You have raised me like a princess, 

you call me meaow,

to have you, my bebechi, my chitti, 

I am proud and lucky, oh wow!

You have silver in your hair, 

but gold in your heart, 

Dadu, you are my hero, 

you are the smartest of smart!

I know that I can count on you,

you will never let me fall!

Because, You are the greatest,  

and loveliest Grandpa of all!
