Grandma’s Home

I remember my Grandma’s home
It had two swings hanging on a oak tree
We use to spend summer vacation there
My brothers ran fast to get everything first
Sometimes they swung high in the sky with the swing
I got scared and sometimes I cried
I remember those days, when I was five

I remember my Grandma’s home
When I was eight I stayed on weekends
I learned to bake cookies as a rookie
I baked and baked so we could eat again and again
The whole family gained a lot of weight
When I was sixteen I baked a cheese cake
Grandma made us run many blocks

We ran three miles without stopping
I remember those days, when I was sixteen

 I remember my Grandma’s home
When I graduated she arranged a job with Bob
I learned to earn my keep without a beep
Soon I learned enough to save my earnings
I became self-sufficient and studied to be an engineer
Grandma was so content to see me thriving
We celebrated grandma's golden jubilee in Chicago
 I remember those party days, when I was thirty-two 

 I remember my Grandma’s home
When I married my business partner
She gave us silver dollars in a golden bag
After a few years and twins in our home
We requested her to live with us to play
She was thrilled to fulfill our wishes
We saw her eyes twinkling as she played
And told stories of her happy past
We were blessed that she passed in her sleep
with a smile on her face that was the grace
We are sure she is resting in heaven with the Almighty Lord

I remember this surprise, now when I am sixty-four
