Song
of an Owl V
Lady
of majesty and grace,
Mother of seven
children,
Grandmother of eighteen
children,
Great grandmother of
nineteen children;
Her name is Annamma
Zachariyas.
She was married to a
man from Chemmazhikkatt family,
A glorious bond of
dignity, respect and honor.
She has fought well
against the odds of life and
Survived,
For, she was a woman of
determination and dignity.
Moving to Malabar, she
had nothing but her seven children,
They lived fighting
against the wild animals who visited their lands for foods.
She has shown her
children and grandchildren the value of life,
Glory and dignity of
family and tradition.
She taught her younger
generations the lessons of life,
She was royal,
Lived every moment in
Jesus Christ and Mother Mary,
She is a saint, who
always keeps her children’s life safe,
In heaven, she is
praying for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She lived and I saw
her,
She nursed me when I
was born and told me bed stories.
She taught me how to
pray and live.
She was my comfort in
troublesome, I could always go
And seek solace.
She waited for me on
the porch every evening
For my return from
school,
I always reserved my
right cheek for her lovely kiss,
And both of her cheeks
were for my kiss.
She has lived and
witnessed her following generations,
She has shown us a
great tradition and lineage to follow,
A tradition of honor,
and lineage of dignity.
I have nothing for you
grandma, but my memories of you.
You are still alive
here in my memories.
I love you and give me
your both cheeks for my kiss.
