My Grandson
(Poem)
- Dr P Malankot
“Vinu
calling’’, my mobile phone rings
What’s
the matter – I became anxious
‘’Daddy,
Priya delivered a baby boy’’ -
My
son-in-law informs very happily!
I
could not believe what I heard
‘’You
mean, a baby boy?’’, I did ask
Vinu
repeated, ‘’yes Daady, baby boy’’
Oh,
am I lucky this much, I asked myself
I
forgot to congratulate him, instead
I
told him that I am very very glad!
I
have two sisters, and two daughters
And,
my daughter has a daughter too
This granddaughter is my beloved
Malu
Still, I wished for a grandson to
me
My
Daddy was worried that I don’t have a son
For
performing religious rites after my death!
I
now murmured to his soul in my mind,
“Don’t
worry dad, I now have a grandson
As
I wished and to fulfill your wish too!“
*On 5/2/2013, my
daughter delivered a baby boy
and this is what I scribbled down with an
excitement.
