Happy Birthday Dearest Gran

-



It's my Grandma's birthday tomorrow and she's really difficult to please
So I thought of an innovative gift for her.
Will get this rhyme and a picture of me and gran printed and framed
Hope I'm able to please her.


My dearest darling sweetie pie Nanz
You are the super coolest gran
and I am forever your ardent fan

Your sense of humor is simply fab
You really know how to turn a moment into fun from dull and drab

You keep me grounded and down to earth
And have taught me how to respect everything's worth

From you I learnt always to wear a smile
Even if I have to walk shoeless for countless miles

You taught me how to keep a level head
Pursue my goals and forge ahead

Your emphasis on hard work has always stayed
Which is why every challenge I happily embrace

Even in the face of adversity
You radiate so much positive energy
That adversity says I picked the wrong one
And takes an about turn coz you leave it with no choice but to run

From you I learnt how to be grateful
Count my blessings and be joyful

Your knack for fixing things has me amazed
Our prayer machine is always unfazed

Where do you get so much patience from?
Never on your face have I seen a frown!

I simply love your silver grey hair
You spoil everyone with your incessant care

You never objected to my endearment nanzy-noodles
I'll love you forever oodles and oodles and oodles...

So happy birthday dearest Nani
Jo hain sabsey sayani, gyyani and from who I learnt how to do maan maani
