THANK YOU GRANDPA
Remember lovingly I, those years precious.
Your feeding us with food, truly delicious.
Your inculcating, values religious; help me, so much today.
About the Shahnameh, n its heroes, all that you did narrate n say;
You, calling us by names of famous Persians ;
Building a sense of pride in us ; Cocassians.
Those stories wonderful, about our kings n pehlwans great ;
And the pathetic sad ones about our ancestors fate.
That picture, so well painted by you, in my memory still dwells.
Even today, with their pain, often a tear in my eye swells.
Thank you dearest Dosu-pappa, for this love, that you inculcated ;
Understand I the torture n pain, of our ancestors, that you stated.
Let me this important value instill, in our children young.
To narrate, how our ancestors, to their religion diligently clung.
