She of age 95, once on knee jerk reaction,
Scolded my son, of 43: Khabardar, if you,
Ever hit my son (of 73 years); while 43 was,
Dramatizing that action to me, for fun.
That is a real mother.
Next day 43 brought some medicines,
For her, on my instructions, and she burst:
What lovely is my grandson, may you
Settle in your life happily, with good health,
And prosperity.
That is a real grandmother.
When her younger daughter-in-law,
Was waiting for a kidney donor,
For her own kidney was bad and required,
Transplant; 95 indicated her wish to
Offer her own kidney!
And did fast on one day in a week,
Until a donor kidney was available!
That is a real mother-in-law!
That is old blood, old virtues, old affection,
And modern display of care and love.
