I remember those days,
When I used to hold your finger and learned to walk,
When you used to teach me how to speak.
When I used to tell you about the adventures in school,
Those small little things,
I can’t get them back nor I can erase them from my memory.
These memories are to be treasured by me.
Now, that you are not with us, but your blessings are,
I regret that I couldn't be with you,
When you breathed your last.
Your body may die but not your soul.
You are always alive in our hearts.
I remember those days,
When you used to quarrel with grandma,
On those small little things,
And reluctantly let her win.
When we used to say a single thing at least thrice,
As you had lost most of your hearing ability till then.
I remember those days,
When you were with us.
